Three French Classical Music Magazines Set to Shut Down

The French classical music press is facing a major setback, as three leading magazines—Classica, L’Avant-Scène Opéra, and Pianiste—are scheduled to cease publication in April 2025.

Staff members were informed yesterday that they would be laid off due to financial difficulties. The three magazines are all part of the Humensis publishing group, which has decided to discontinue their operations for economic reasons. The news was first reported by ResMusica this morning.
