Ep.48 - Hannah Fiddy

*All Talking Classical podcasts formerly on SoundCloud have been redirected to Anchor.* In this podcast, I’m talking to Hannah Fiddy, who is the co-founder of Alternative Classical, an initiative that aims to present classical music in a variety of different ways, from pop-up performances to new presentations on digital media. We talk about the premise behind Alternative Classical, attitudes towards different presentations of classical music and her latest project Humans of Classical Music, a video series featuring a variety of people talking about pieces of classical music in an informal, jargon-free way. We also talk about how the classical music industry has been adapting during the last year or so and what the industry might look like post-pandemic.
