COVID-19 really threw a wrench in our world, literally! All of our lives have changed and we have been trying to figure out ways to maintain our sanity, maintain our relationships, and on top of that keep making music and try to make a career out of it. The old rules for carving out a career in classical music are no longer feasible or lucrative. We have to be creative not only artistically, but business savvy as well. So how the hell do you do that?! No really, how?!
If you’re feeling the weight of uncertainty and misdirection, whether, in your personal or professional life, you will find solace in knowing that your peers and colleagues are not the avatars you see on Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media platform. They are real people too. With real troubles and challenges. We are all trying to figure out how to keep a level head and earn a living as musicians. So let’s talk about it.
Join me as I interview friends and colleagues in search of a career in classical music.
