As the Modern Composers International Music Festival (ModComFest) prepares to celebrate its fifth edition in 2026, its President, Konstantin Ishkhanov, is once again placing contemporary creativity at the forefront of the classical music conversation. Taking place from the 15th to the 23rd of September 2026 in Barcelona, ModComFest 2026 will be dedicated to the music of Max Richter, a composer widely recognised for his ability to bridge classical tradition with modern sensibilities. “I would like to warmly acknowledge and thank ModComFest for including Max Richter’s art and music in this year’s festival programme”, said Meg Monteith, Richter’s manager. “If classical music is to remain meaningful, it must continue to evolve,” Konstantin Ishkhanov said.
