The main place of traditions of European classical music moves to Far East. A proof of it are the names of the laureats of world contests - from the most prestigious to young talents festivals. While in the West musicians are busy with the search for new forms, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese musicians study in depth European traditions and search for self-expression in the Western classic. Both in Far Eastern countries and in the countries where the Far Eastern Diaspora are numerous, European classical music becomes the mark of being modern, intellectual and belonging to a perspective social group.
