00:30I think what they're trying to do is really quite remarkable.

01:00And particularly in this day and age where we need music

01:04to somehow bring some sanity to this world.

01:09And it's lovely to see the audience growing

01:13and to see more and more local people attend

01:17to hear music, which I suppose to a certain extent

01:21is a little bit foreign to them in terms of culture.

01:25But, you know, as we know, music is a universal language

01:30and I think we somehow communicate.

01:34This year's festival was dedicated to composer-in-residence Alexei Shaw,

01:39whose 55th birthday was celebrated throughout the festival programming.

01:44His music has had a defining presence in recent years here at Inclassica.

01:48I need particular sources of inspiration to write music.

01:58I just love writing music.

02:00And pretty much any emotions, even like pretty mundane day-to-day things,

02:07can trigger some musical thoughts.

02:12But if you mean like musically,

02:15then of course my inspiration comes from the works of the greats.

02:18And I just try to sort of speak in my own voice,

02:25but in the framework created by them.

02:28It's one of the greatest pleasures of listening to music live

02:33because the interpretations are also different

02:37and different performers find little nuances that I wasn't aware of.

02:44and it's truly wonderful for me.

02:51Highlights from the 16 concerts included a performance

02:54by Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovich,

02:57a prodigious talent who gave his first live concert at just nine years old.

03:01When you're on stage, it's in some ways a declaration of truth.

03:10And if you don't have this truth inside you on stage,

03:16then I feel the audience will feel it.

03:19And if the performer doesn't have this full declaration of love,

03:24the audience won't feel the love for the music.

03:27And they won't in some ways get hypnotized by it,

03:30as I believe true music can.

03:33And true music is not entertainment.

03:37For me, it's a revelation.

03:40It's something that connects us to a deeper understanding of our soul,

03:47our meaning of having a heart.

03:51And for the composers to create great music,

03:56they had to really sacrifice themselves fully.

03:59And it's not all about the musicians at In Classica.

04:02The audience are very much at the heart of this world-renowned festival.

04:06Of course, you're trying to give 100% of yourself,

04:11but at the same time, you need the energy of the musicians,

04:13you need the energy of the audience too.

04:15If they are shy, you would love to convince them

04:18about what you're playing is a very nice music.

04:21If they are so enthusiastic, maybe they need an anchor or two.

04:25So I'm trying to play with the elements I find every day.

04:31So I try to just achieve great things with the elements I have.

04:39From Beethoven to Bach and beyond to Alexi Shaw,

04:42the legacy of In Classica continues to evolve and grow each year

04:46along with its programming and audiences.
