New Music Listening Club is a podcast and platform dedicated to consuming, sharing, and enjoying contemporary music. There are many musicians out there creating, performing, and presenting new music, and we want to explore this rich and varied musical community through a shared listening experience. The idea for the Club grew out of our desire to seek out and listen – really listen – to more new music and make time to talk about it with friends. With the model of a book club, each podcast episode assembles a small panel to talk about recent works they’ve enjoyed and share in their own words what makes the music so interesting and exciting. With the listening list posted before each episode, we encourage our listeners to check out the music, tune in for our friendly discussion, and continue the conversation via our social media platforms. On our blog (newmusiclisteningclub.com) you’ll find access to our podcasts and listening lists, as well as interviews with each of our guest panelists and occasional additional posts on contemporary music. Thanks for tuning in, and happy listening!

Discover the music of Igor Stravinsky, one of the 20th century’s most important creative figures, in a series of five podcasts from his publisher Boosey & Hawkes. Jonathan Cross reassesses Stravinsky’s achievement, 50 years after the composer’s death, with a selection of musical examples illustrating the rich variety of his works. Stravinsky’s deep fascination with time and rhythm is explained and the podcasts explore his interests ranging across art, literature, myth, faith, dance and jazz. We join the composer’s journey, from 19th century Russian romanticism, through a sequence of pioneering ballets and a new look at classical traditions in the 1920s and 30s, to a radical post-war reinvention in the USA. Stravinsky’s legacy is reassessed and his complex connections with other classical composers is charted throughout his lifetime and beyond.
