This excerpt comes from a YouTube episode titled "🎧 #TPPSeason5Rewind | Episode 10: Anna Heller" (uploaded 2025-07-20). It is an interview-style exchange between two speakers (likely a host and guest Anna Heller) discussing the legacy and future of classical music over the next 10 years — hopes for new composers and works, immersive/hybrid concert experiences (streaming, visuals, AR/VR glasses), music as a cultural unifier across nationalities, and the importance of preserving human passion rather than being replaced by AI.

So since we're talking about future, so let's talk about the legacy and the future of classical music. So where do you want to see the classical music world in 10 years?
And yeah, I was thinking about this. Yeah, I really like thinking about future because it's— I'm more like future-oriented person. And I really do want to believe that that music and culture will help us people to be together, you know, like especially now with all this really political uncertainties and all this crazy world. I think this is like something, a constant that's continuing this tradition, this heritage, you know, from Gregorian chants up to the composers who are writing today. I really want to believe that these composers are writing more in the next 10 years and create new, better worlds, you know. And I really do believe in that, that people, you know, of all different nationalities, you know, they will meet in these concert halls and be it candlelight or starry, I don't know, something As I said, this dream world with the immersive pictures, maybe hybrid concerts where you also do the streaming all over the world, or maybe, you know, these glasses. But the most important thing is that we are still humans, you know, that we are not substituted by artificial intelligence, that we are living the passion that we have.
