The <em>uDiscover Classical 100<\/em> is the first of its kind \u2013 a major international initiative, offering fans worldwide the chance to vote for their favourite living artist via a newly-created online portal: <a href=\"http:\/\/vote.udiscovermusic.com\/classical100\">vote.udiscovermusic.com\/classical100<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Based on global sales data, The uDiscover Classical 100 offers a shortlist of 100 of the best-selling living classical artists to vote for. Among the contenders are superstar pianists Lang Lang and Yuja Wang, cellists Yo-Yo Ma and Sheku Kanneh-Mason, composers John Williams and Max Richter, as well as singers Andrea Bocelli and Ren\u00e9e Fleming. The poll includes other leading musicians, from established conductors like Sir Simon Rattle and Gustavo Dudamel to innovative young artists like Nicola Benedetti and V\u00edkingur \u00d3lafsson whose recordings and performances have been acclaimed worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>This global poll has been created to seek out the world\u2019s favourite classical artist, rather than repertorie or chart favourites. Despite cancellations this year, classical music continues to resonate with audiences worldwide, with listening figures increasing over the past few months \u2013 for example, streams of the playlist \u2018Work From Home Classics\u2019 increased almost 400% in April and May, as many people turned to classical music as a soundtrack to their new daily routine. What\u2019s more, younger people are turning to classical music too. According to a recent report by the BPI, Deezer and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, 18-25 year olds accounted for a third (34%) of classical music streamers worldwide in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Voting opens: Thursday 19 November 2020<\/p>\n<p>Voting closes: Monday 18 January 2021<\/p>\n<p>Winner announced: February 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The website is divided into instrumental categories and also includes a search function to help locate an artist.
