CLASSICAL MUSIC DAILY NEWSLETTERS
This page lists our monthly classical music newsletters and podcasts, most recently published first
On 1 January 2024 this magazine will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary. We are planning an online party via Zoom on 28 December 2023 which will become our January newsletter, looking back to what has happened over the last twenty-five years, both generally in classical music, and in this magazine, and also looking forward to what might happen in the future. Please join us if you can. The session will run for one hour. See below for the start time in your region.
There should also be time at the end of the session to discuss your forthcoming projects, and make other classical music news announcements.
You are invited to take part, and also to pass on the link to this page to anyone else who you think might be interested in joining us.
The meeting will take place on Thursday 28 December 2023 at 09:00 PST (US/Canada west coast), 10:00 MST (US/Canada mountain time), 12:00 EST (US/Canada east coast), 17:00 UCT/GMT (Ireland/UK), 18:00 CET (Central Europe), 19:00 EET/SAST (Eastern Europe/South Africa) and, early the following day, 01:00 HKT/SGT (Hong Kong/Singapore) and 04:00 AEDT (Sydney, Australia).
If you're unavailable at this time, it will also be possible to record a contribution until the end of Friday 29 December 2023.
Some of our recent offerings have been complete video programmes, made collaboratively by various regular contributors and guests. These often have a party or discussion-style atmosphere, with less connection than previously to the articles we publish daily. They are recorded on Zoom, a few days before publication, and we try to vary the recording day and time from month to month, to attract participation from those in different time zones. Typically the edited videos are watched several thousand times during the month they're published. They are marked in the list below with (MP4). Most of the others are PDF newsletters, summarising each previous month's daily content.
