Neo-Classical music is the genre that blends the rich traditions of classical composition with modern influences and contemporary instrumentation. Emerging in the late 20th century, it was shaped by composers like Ludovico Einaudi, Max Richter, and Ólafur Arnalds, who brought a fresh, accessible approach to classical music. Neo-classical's evocative melodies and minimalistic arrangements create a deeply emotional and introspective listening experience. Today, it continues to thrive, with new composers exploring its boundaries and bringing classical music to new audiences.
