Musician and Choirmaster Gareth Malone OBE suffers from tinnitus, a medical condition producing high pitched ringing or buzzing sounds inside the head.

1 in 7 people live with some degree of it, leading to sleep loss and anxiety. He meets researchers trying to understand it better.

Great to see alternative approaches to programme bios like👇In my research audiences said artists were often “so unimaginative when writing about themselves…Dame Blankety Blank has performed in the world’s major opera houses”. I agree. Nice to have more than a list of CV points.

Nice piece👇 “We can be bolder and try new ideas out, accepting that some of them may not be fully successful”. Taking risks amidst £ uncertainty is hard. But different formats + experiences can coexist + may have different levels of success in different places…and that’s OK!

The classical music industry is slow to evolve, valuing tradition and “the way things have always been” over new ideas. We can be bolder and try out new ideas...
