1.15A - Classical music: the dark side! A singer tells all.

In this two part episode, soprano, Julia Kogan, raises a number of thorny issues: Is there a true meritocracy for artists? The challenge of programming new music, and how the current experience of the concert hall or the opera house can intimidate new audiences. In the second part “Let’s talk remedies” Julia and Katie go on to look at these vexed questions and discuss some solutions that would improve the classical music experience for performers and audiences alike.
