Brief: A brand new podcast series with YolanDa Brown, asking classical music's most-asked questions.

Tandem process: Worked in tandem with the LPO team to craft a new format. Designed content and themes for each episode. Created research packs for presenter and contributors for each episode. Recorded episodes on location. Edited, mixed, and mastered audio. Delivered on a variety of audio platforms.

Project

The London Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the world’s leading orchestras, and an organisation keen to share the wonders of classical music. Tandem was asked to revamp the LPO’s podcast, creating a podcast with a new format and feel that would appeal to an audience curious about classical music

The result sees YolanDa and the LPO gang tackling classical music’s most-asked questions, with plenty of chit-chat and laughter along the way. Is Mozart the G.O.A.T? Does Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony have the best opening? What exactly is the etiquette around clapping at gigs? And many more…

This 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 series, both teams are in regular communication as presenter and guest contributors are booked and given detailed research briefs before each recording. 

Utilising our technical know-how, high quality audio recordings are made flexibly on location, followed by a detailed editing process to ensure the podcasts are fluent, clear and punchy. We then mix and master the audio for a final polish.

We make Pitch Me Classical available on all the leading podcast platforms.
