Show Notes
Is classical music dying, or is it just evolving? Most of its composers lived and died in centuries past, and the bulk of its repertoire is well over 100 years old, but does that mean classical music is on its last legs? For some, the tradition is losing relevance, but it’s also quietly thriving in surprising and unexpected ways. YolanDa, Claudia and Hugh explore why the genre carries such a reputation for decline, discuss ways in which classical music is reinventing itself, and wonder what its future might look like. Plus, in the quiz, Claudia and Hugh debate who gets more streams on Spotify - Mozart or the musical Hamilton?
