About Classical VS

Classical VS is an Atlanta-born performance platform dedicated to showcasing artists who build their work on classical music as the structural core while merging it with disciplines outside conventional classical spaces. The platform highlights creators who treat classical composition not as background, but as the engine of their artistic expression.

The Presentation

The Cut is a curated live presentation produced by Classical VS. Selected artists perform work grounded in classical music as the foundational framework of the piece, alongside a featured headline performance by Ashley January. The event is structured, intentional, and designed to present classical-based interdisciplinary work in a refined setting.

Open Auditions

Classical VS invites artists across disciplines whose work is built on classical music as the primary compositional framework. Whether through performance, production, movement, visual art, or interdisciplinary practice, classical music must remain central to the work presented.

If classical music is the spine of your piece , and you are pushing it beyond traditional format, this platform is for you.

Classical music must be central — not supplemental — to the work presented.
