Florence Lockheart is the editor of Classical Music Magazine, the only magazine and website dedicated to the classical music industry in the UK. A Classics graduate from Durham University, Florence has always had a strong interest in classical music, which she nurtured over the years through both choral singing and training as a solo singer. Editor of the magazine since late 2021, her passion for both the artform and the industry is palpable, and she continues to develop CM's role as a trusted resource for the classical music world. In this episode, Florence spoke about what her role as an editor entails, and shared some insightful tips on how to conduct an interview (duly noted by yours truly). She also spoke about the joy she found in working on a cover feature about Maestro, the 2023 Bernstein biopic, and having difficult conversations involving the breaking of bad news to fellow creatives during the pandemic. ------------------- Classical Music: Website Instagram X (formerly Twitter) Facebook ------------------- Follow The Classical Circuit on Instagram Did you enjoy this episode?
