It takes a look at the international orchestra landscape, reports on the work of Rundfunkchor [de] and publishes studies on audience research. Reports on concert series, music theatre premieres, music festivals, competitions and symposia reflect current musical life. In addition, there is information about new things for musicians, also in instrument making, short news items and detailed reviews of new books, sheet music, CDs and DVDs.^[1]

A large part of the magazine is made up of the world's largest musicians' job market, in which almost all German orchestras and radio choirs, European, but also international orchestras and choirs advertise their vacancies and auditions. The job market has been online since 2011.
