Pitch Me Classical, the latest podcast series from the
London Philharmonic Orchestra, launches 28 November 2024
The London Philharmonic Orchestra has announced the launch of a brand-new podcast. From 28
November 2024, host YolanDa Brown will be joined by players from the LPO to pitch their thoughts
on some of classical music’s most-asked questions, in an attempt to get to the bottom of the most
contentious conundrums.
From debating whether certain orchestral traditions should still exist, to asking what makes classical
music still relevant in the 21st century, MOBO Award-winning saxophonist and presenter YolanDa
and featured LPO players will tackle some of classical music’s most controversial topics in each
episode.
Pitch Me Classical puts LPO players in the hot seat with the big questions up for debate. In the first
episode, ‘Is Mozart the G.O.A.T.?’, audiences will hear Orchestra Co-Leader and First Violin, Alice IvyPemberton, and Principal Trombone, Mark Templeton’s opinions on why when the majority are
asked to name a classical composer, Mozart is the first name that comes to mind.
New episodes will be added regularly and cover audiences’ burning questions including ‘Does all
classical music really all sound the same?’ and ‘Should we be ditching bow ties?’. Listeners can add
to the conversation and pose their own hot topics for debate via social media.
Listen to and follow Pitch Me Classical wherever you get your podcasts.
