VAN is an independent online classical music magazine, published weekly in English and German. (You’re on the English site!) We love strong personalities and radical points of view, and cover everything from the first documented music to the latest world premieres.

We like to think of VAN as a fanzine, written for music lovers and professionals by music lovers and professionals. We’re fueled by over 100 writers who blend serious knowledge with a sense of humor, and we aren’t afraid of the weird, wonderful, or just plain wrong.

Oh, and our name comes from van Beethoven.
