20th-century Classical

20th-century classical music is a diverse and innovative genre that defies traditional tonal structures while expanding orchestration, rhythm, and expression. Spanning styles from late Romanticism to atonality and experimentalism, it includes neoclassicism, serialism, and minimalism. Composers explored new harmonies, asymmetrical rhythms, and unconventional instrumentation, often blending folk, jazz, and electronic influences. Performers and ensembles in this tradition bring technical precision and emotional depth to complex, modern compositions, reflecting the century’s dynamic cultural shifts.
