Alternative Classical announces 'Humans of Classical Music' video series
Monday, February 1, 2021
The series will ask musicians, actors, comedians and podcasters to recommend their favourite piece of classical music in one minute.
A new video will go live every Thursday throughout 2021, starting on 4 February, and will be accompanied with a link to the piece on Spotify or YouTube.
Participants include Grammy-nominated musicians Anthony Roth Costanzo and Anna Clyne, three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Kieran Hodgson, principal conductor of Glyndebourne on Tour Ben Glassberg-Frost, chief executive of Manchester Collective Adam Szabo, and composers Gabriel Prokofiev and Missy Mazzoli.
The name is inspired by the popular Humans of New York series, featuring interviews with thousands of people on the streets of New York City.
To receive each video and music choice, viewers can sign up for the weekly email or follow the project on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
