International Cultural Platform
Creators Classics
Maximum visibility for artistic excellence
for contemporary art and performance culture
Creators Classics is a Vienna-based international cultural platform built around artists, ideas, and the people who bring them to life. Our work focuses on helping artists find their audience, build distinctive personal brands, and create opportunities through management, social media spotlight, and concert production.
Since 2019, we have developed and produced projects across music, opera, visual arts, and media - from artist management and concert production to original recordings, interviews and conversations and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Creators Classics Artist Management is a Vienna-based artist management platform representing selected opera singers and musicians with distinctive artistic identities and the ambition to develop international careers.
We work closely with each artist to define their positioning, identify the right repertoire and opportunities, and build a sustainable path through the European opera and classical music industry. Our approach combines personal representation with strategic career development - from auditions and opera engagements to concerts, festivals and international collaborations.
Our work is built on relationships and industry access. We develop connections with opera houses, casting directors, artistic directors, festivals, conductors and other professionals across the European cultural landscape, while working with agents and industry partners who bring their own regional expertise and networks into the Creators Classics platform.
We are not interested in representing artists simply for the sake of building a large roster. We focus on artists we believe have something distinctive to offer and on creating the right opportunities at the right moment in their careers.

Interviews and Conversations
Creators Classics Interviews is a conversation platform led by young artists working across Europe’s leading theaters and cultural institutions. Our hosts are not traditional interviewers - they are performers and creators themselves, bringing their own experience, questions, and perspective to conversations with established artists and influential figures of the cultural world.
By placing emerging artists in conversation with the generations who shaped the profession, we create a bridge between generations.
Our conversations explore artistic identity, career paths, creative process, and the changing realities of the performing arts.
Through our network and our work in leading European theaters, we bring these conversations directly into the professional world of opera and classical music - creating content that connects established voices with the next generation of artists.

Our Private Concerts
Many people ask us why we chose the name Creators Classics. The answer is simple: Classics is the world we come from - opera, chamber music, Lieder, and the great repertoire that continues to shape musical life today. Creators reflects the people who bring that repertoire to life.
A classical work is never exactly the same twice. Every singer, musician, conductor, and creative team brings something personal to it. At the same time, we are interested in creation in the more direct sense: developing new programmes, working with living composers, creating arrangements, and producing projects that connect classical music with contemporary artistic practices.
For us, tradition and new creation are not opposites. Classical music remains alive because artists continue to interpret it, question it, and make it their own. That is where Creators Classics comes from — supporting the people who create, perform, and reinterpret music and art today.

In a concert market full of repetition, we look for different ways to present music. We develop programmes and formats that give artists and audiences more room for interaction, discovery, and a personal connection with the music.
Our Liederabende can be intimate and conversational; our opera evenings can take on a more theatrical character. The format depends on the music, the artists, and the audience we want to bring together.
We also involve the audience in the process. Before selected concerts, we ask what pieces and arias they would like to hear and use this feedback when shaping the programme. It allows us to build evenings around real interests rather than following a fixed formula.
For us, a concert is not simply a programme presented on stage. It is a meeting between artists, music, and people - and every project can take a different form.

Our Vernissages
We are delighted to invite you to the vernissages hosted by our Verein - a special opportunity to experience new works of art in an intimate, inspiring atmosphere before the official exhibition opening. A “vernissage” is a chance to meet the artists, exchange ideas with fellow art lovers, and immerse yourself in the creative spirit of our community.
At these events, you will have the first look at fresh paintings, sculptures or other creations — carefully selected to reflect the diversity and excellence of contemporary art.
Our vernissages aim to support artists, connect collectors with emerging talent, and build a network around art appreciation. Whether you are an experienced collector, a curious admirer, or a supporter of the arts, we welcome you to join the evening: enjoy the ambiance, engage with the creators, and share in the excitement of witnessing new artworks unveiled for the first time. Each vernissage will be followed by a reception with light refreshments, offering a relaxed space for conversation and community building. We look forward to seeing you at our next event and celebrating art together!

Monika Herschberger "Celebrating Spring"
Recording label Creators Classics has been founded by artists, for artists. We believe in artistic freedom, authenticity, and the power of music to challenge, inspire, and move audiences. Our mission is to give musicians complete creative control over their work - free from commercial pressures and industry constraints. Every recording we produce is a testament to artistic integrity, focusing on unique interpretations, bold programming, and the highest musical standards. When others hesitate, we act. Creators Classics exists to bring visionary projects to life, ensuring that great musical ideas are realized without compromise.
We've released two albums, each showcasing our commitment to excellence and innovation in classical music. More than performances, they are artistic statements - crafted with passion and precision. At Creators Classics, independence is our philosophy. We work directly with musicians, engineers, and designers to create recordings that stay true to the artist's vision.

POETS
album, Creators Classics
is a 70-minute oratorio that presents a haunting montage of poetry and letters by Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, interwoven with Catholic prayers.
The work unfolds through the memories of an aging Siegfried Sassoon, reflecting on his intense friendship with Owen at Craiglockhart War Hospital in 1917—a relationship that, according to historical sources, may have had romantic undertones. Both poets were passionate opponents of war, rejecting any romanticization of it and exposing its brutal reality.
The message of the oratorio is universal: it denounces the senselessness of all wars, from 1917 to today. Why do we shorten our lives through suffering? Why do we fight, when love exists in every human being
Falling For Love
album, Creators Classics
Falling for Love is a captivating exploration of love in its many forms, brought to life by the soprano Mira Alkhovik and the pianist Alla Belova. Recorded in October 2023 in Copenhagen, this album offers a rich tapestry of emotions through a selection of songs by Schubert, Chausson, Pijper, Nielsen, Rachmaninov, Berg, and Enescu.
From the joyous and passionate to the mystical and tragic, each piece reflects a unique facet of love’s complexities. Alkhovik’s voice soars with warmth and intensity, perfectly complemented by Belova’s sensitive and nuanced accompaniment. Together, they deliver performances that are as technically brilliant as they are deeply moving.
Falling for Love invites listeners on a journey of discovery, revealing the profound beauty and emotional depth of experiencing love in its many manifestations.
Catalan Melodies
album, Creators Classics
A profound exploration of feminism through music, Catalan Melodies is a vocal cycle composed by Andrei Maksimov for soprano, piano, and violin. This 40-minute work, written in 2023, draws inspiration from the evocative poetry of Clementina Arderiu.
With its nuanced interplay of voice and instruments, the album delves into the depths of Arderiu's feminist themes, bringing her words to life with emotional resonance and artistic clarity. Recorded in the cultural heart of Strasbourg, HEAR University, Catalan Melodies is a powerful testament to the enduring dialogue between poetry and music. Now available on streamings.
