Classical crossover is a music genre that blends elements of classical music with popular music styles, such as pop, rock, and jazz. This fusion allows classical musicians to reach a broader audience by incorporating contemporary sounds and arrangements while maintaining the sophistication of classical compositions. Artists in the classical crossover genre often include vocalists, instrumentalists, and ensembles who reinterpret classical pieces or create original works that appeal to both classical and mainstream music fans. Notable examples of classical crossover artists include Andrea Bocelli and Il Divo, who have successfully merged operatic vocals with popular music formats.
