As a podcaster working on "The Concert," a classical podcast from the Gardner Museum in Boston, I can't help wondering if classical music has a "second life" online. When you get rid of the trappings of classical concerts, the cost and location barriers, the stiff competition for people's precious few weekend and evening hours, does a new audience for classical music emerge?
My experience says yes. Any other thoughts out there? Do you, or would you, listen to classical music online? Do you, or would you, listen to it in a concert hall?
And, of course, if you like the idea of free, on-demand, Creative Commons-licensed classical music, hope you'll check us out: http://podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=43790. Don't forget about our website, too, where we've got a whole library of classical music organized by composer that you can download, share and listen to whenever and however you want: http://www.gardnermuseum.org/music/library.asp
