Project

The London Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the world’s leading orchestras, and an organisation keen to share the excitement and secrets of classical music. Tandem was asked to create a podcast series for the LPO designed to welcome people into the world of classical music, with human stories, insights, tips and gossip. 

Over the 6 seasons of the podcast (so far) musicians in the LPO have talked about subjects as wide ranging as Holst’s The Planets to how many pairs of underpants you need to take on tour, and from the delights of living in East Sussex to how a player’s mum got his stolen instrument back. 

This project is an example of how Tandem works in collaboration with a client to deliver the most effective possible content. Alongside combined meetings to shape each season, both teams are in regular communication as presenter and guest contributors are booked and given detailed research briefs before each recording. 

The high quality audio recordings are made either in person, or remotely using Tandem audio equipment and the editing process is detailed, to give the podcasts a natural fluency and clarity. Our associate audio engineers then mix the audio for a final polish. 

We make LPO Offstage available on all the leading podcast platforms and we have also syndicated the series via international media networks for wider brand awareness.

"The LPO has been working with Tandem since 2020, creating the orchestra’s fantastic podcast LPO Offstage. Tandem have contributed at all stages of the process – from conception, episode content and construction, as well as the recording, editing and production to an incredibly high quality – we have really valued their wealth of experience in this field.

All the staff at Tandem have been a delight to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our working relationship, as well as the great success of the podcast."
