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.

PlayScore 2 is an amazing app that lets you play any music by taking a photo of your score. You can even scan in PDFs from a free sheet music site like IMSLP. If you don’t read music, you can hear what it sounds like, or PlayScore 2 can accompany you in any key. If you sing in a choir, you can isolate your part on its own or with others in the background. PlayScore 2 also exports to score editors such as Dorico, MuseScore or Finale. Download PlayScore 2 from your app store! playscore.co
