About Classical Underground
Classical Underground is a camaraderie of artists, musicians, and friends joining in their subversive belief in eternal, enduring, and ever-present living art. Classical Underground is a cause-driven cultural movement and a cross-discipline platform that explores the relationship between classical expressions in music and visual art forms, and explores and incubates its application as an effective contemporary society-building tool. CU’s founding principle is the clarity of intent. In the great debate over whether art has a future in the commercialized world fractured by hypergreed, we say art is the future. Art is the ever-flaming torch of humanism in the society facing a storm.
