So Hear Me Out is a brand new podcast from London’s Southbank Centre, exploring the big questions around classical music — and why it still matters today.Join hosts Linton Stephens (musician, broadcaster and Deputy Artistic Director of Chineke! Orchestra) and Gillian Moore (writer, broadcaster and Artistic Associate at Southbank Centre) as they challenge assumptions, unpick controversies, and share fresh ways of listening to the music you thought you knew.Each episode starts with a question — from “can classical music be laugh-out-loud funny?” to “is it okay to borrow styles from other cultures?” — and opens the door to two hand-picked pieces of music. Some you’ll recognise instantly, others might be brand new to you, but all will spark new perspectives.Expect surprising connections, plenty of feeling (not just theory), the occasional detour to Gillian’s piano, and a warm invitation into the classical world — no PhD required.In this trailer, you’ll get a taste of what’s to come, including John Williams’ Star Wars score and Luciano Berio’s revolutionary Symphonia.So whether you’re a Mahler obsessive or you just stumbled in looking for lo-fi beats — welcome. You’re in the right place.👉 Subscribe now to So Hear Me Out and don’t miss an episode.Get in touch:📩 Send your classical questions to
