Why Are We Shushing ? (And Other Qualms With Live Classical Music Concerts)

from Notes From Backstage · host Lydia Rhea and Sophie Kauer

Cost isn’t the only barrier to live classical music. The stigma surrounding concert hall etiquette and expectations is doing more harm than good, so what do we need to change to make everyone feel welcome? In this episode we talk about our own negative experiences in concert venues, what we want to change, and highlight artists, venues, and programs that are prioritizing the audience experience in new and exciting ways. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/apr/10/classicalmusicandopera.comment1
