VAN is an independent weekly online magazine published monthly in German and English and devoted to classical music. It launched as a bilingual publication in January 2016, styling itself as "a fanzine for music lovers, music professionals and followers of the arts." Its name comes from Ludwig van Beethoven. Unlike many other classical music publications, such as Gramophone, Opera News, and Das Opernglas, VAN caters to a younger audience of classical music fans and professionals. Its focus on news and stories that center on non-mainstream voices, perspectives, and stories within classical music has earned it comparisons to Pitchfork Magazine for its respective musical genre.
