Contemporary Classical

Contemporary Classical is mainly for classical music composed after 1945. Find here different types of post-tonal, post-war music, with a strong emphasis on the great composers of the second half of the 20th century and beyond.

My name is Richard Hering, and I promise to upload a new piece as often as my work allows. Please subscribe to get notifications.

Please also check out my extensive playlists of music by modern masters, from Boulez, Xenakis and Berio, to younger composers such as Unsuk Chin and Rebecca Saunders: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZhQjkOvS_aN_Ea6l5ojfXw/playlists
