About us
Akordaj is a publication that is more than just a news source – it is a vibrant, accessible platform that supports the classical music community and invites the general public into its world.
Nowadays, classical music faces many challenges such as an increasingly older audience, limited social media exposure and a need for fresh perspectives that resonate with younger generations. Akordaj aims to turn these challenges into opportunities.
