Classical Crossover Magazine is Now Crossover Music Magazine!

Classical Crossover Magazine, the leading publication for the intersection of classical and contemporary music, is proud to announce its evolution into Crossover Music Magazine. This rebranding represents a strategic shift towards broadening coverage of artists. “Building up and legitimizing Classical Crossover will always be a focus of what we do, but from the beginning, we’ve always used language about supporting ‘neighboring genres’. The magazine is not moving away from our roots but rather intentionally expanding to focus on quality rather than labels. We’re here to support artists throughout their journey whether that be in classical crossover, folk, Broadway, new age, or fantasy.”

Classical Crossover Magazine has long been a platform for artists pushing the boundaries of traditional musical conventions. As Natasha Barbieri reflects, “Once you embrace genre-bending, it allows freedom to start identifying yourself in new ways.”

The decision to rebrand as Crossover Music Magazine reflects a commitment to amplifying the voices of artists exploring a multitude of musical influences. “Our motto is celebrating musical excellence beyond genres.”

Crossover Music Magazine invites readers and music enthusiasts to join them on this exciting journey as they continue to spotlight the extraordinary talents shaping the crossover music landscape. With a renewed commitment to diversity, creativity, and boundary-pushing musical expression, Crossover Music Magazine is poised to be at the forefront of the evolving music scene.

“Our motto is celebrating musical excellence beyond genres.”
