Over the summer, we digitally presented The RPS Conversation to give classical music lovers a picture of how the pandemic has affected the lives and work of classical music makers. As we embark on a new year, we resume the conversation inviting four individuals who each played a key part in keeping music going in 2020, to share with you their frank thoughts on what happens next for classical music. Violinist Elena Urioste won an RPS Inspiration Award for her joyful ‘UriPosteJukeBox’ performances online, soprano Mary Bevan – against all the odds – staged a series of outdoor concerts, conductor Nicholas Collon was one of the first back on the podium with his Aurora Orchestra, and ‘The Voice Doctor’ Declan Costello led the vital research into what constituted safe performance, enabling many musicians to get back to work.
