Following the success of the first Orchestras Now! conference in September 2023, we are delighted to announce that the second edition will be held from 3-5 September 2025 at the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw, Poland. 

We will explore the current state of the orchestral landscape and help build connections bringing together orchestras, concert halls, festivals, publishers and the wider industry from across the globe. 
This year, our theme will be JOINING THE DOTS as we consider the power of connections and storytelling in shaping a successful and dynamic orchestral sector.
 
The conference will coincide with the 10th anniversary of the National Forum of Music and the opening of the 60th International Festival Wratislavia Cantans offering participants the chance to enjoy exceptional artistic experiences in the context of this beautiful city. 
 
We look forward to welcoming you to Wrocław!
