On 20–21 June 2025, the 1st International Conference “Fusion & Influence: Classical and Popular Music Interactions” was held at the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, co-organised by the Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa and the Polish Institute in Bratislava. The event combined scholarly and artistic dimensions, featuring four academic panels and two concerts in Nitra and Bratislava performed by Polish artists. The papers addressed topics situated between classical and popular music, including issues of crossover, intertextuality, stylistic hybridity, cultural influences, and the reception of music in philosophical and literary contexts. The contributions reflected an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together musicological, compositional, philosophical, and cultural perspectives. Piano and chamber concerts presenting both classical repertoire and contemporary works, including new arrangements of the music of the Marek & Wacek duo, were an integral part of the conference. It provided an important platform for ex change, integrating academic communities from Poland and Slovakia, and offering multifaceted perspectives on the relationships between classical and popular music.
