The next MusicTank Think Tank debate will again tackle the classical sector - and in particular what challenges and opportunities the digital domain offers classical labels. It will take place ahead of the Classic FM Gramophone Awards on 28 Sep, which means it'll be happening at The Dorchester, which is very exciting. Well, for fans of slightly flash London hotels. Anyone?
Anyway, in an interesting twist, the debate will be led by Tim Clark, one of the bosses of ie:music, Robbie Williams's management company, and a definite expert in innovative ways of working with music. He'll be applying his business strategies in the pop space to the classical domain, which should be interesting. Also on the panel will be practitioners more used to talking about classical - in particular LSO Live's Chas Jenkins and Universal Classics & Jazz's VP New Media Jonathan Gruber.
