Sunday Baroque Conversations 104: Andrew Ousley - Death of Classical
20/06/2023 Duração: 23h25minFor as long as I can remember, naysayers have been predicting the "death of classical music."

As a result, audiences are alive and well for THE DEATH OF CLASSICAL – attracting younger people and classical music newbies. Suzanne spoke with Andrew Ousley – an entrepreneur, writer, photographer, and public relations innovator – about his mission to give new life to classical music.
