CLASSICAL MUSIC DAILY NEWSLETTERS
This page lists our monthly classical music newsletters and podcasts, most recently published first
Our most 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 vary the recording time from month to month, to attract participation from different time zones.
We'll record the May newsletter on Wednesday 28 April 2021 at 12:00 PT, 13:00 MT, 15:00 ET, 19:00 UCT/GMT, 20:00 BST, 21:00 CET, 22:00 EEST. The Zoom link for this meeting will be shown below on the day - all welcome. The meeting will run for one hour, maximum. If you don't want your image to appear on the recording, please switch your video off before joining the meeting.
