Classical Circuit Podcast Episode 15 — Raffaello Morales

Host Ella Lee chats with Raffaello Morales about the role of the concert hall

Launched this year, Ella Lee’s classical music podcast, “Classical Circuit” explores the intricacies of the classical music industry, and all that comes with working in it. Hailing from across the profession, the podcast guests discuss their careers and personal opinions.

“Classical Circuit” is now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. We had a chance to talk to Ella about her inspiration behind creating this podcast in this exclusive interview.

Raffaello Morales is the founder and music director of the Fidelio Cafe in London, known and well-loved for their 'classical dinner-concert' series, comprising a one-hour concert by an established musician or ensemble, followed by a three-course menu specially curated for that evening's program. Within the wider Fidelio project, Raffaello also conducts the Fidelio Orchestra, run as a charity with the intent of providing a high-level orchestral experience for young musicians, with the likes of Angela Hewitt and Cedric Tiberghien on its roster of former collaborators.

In this episode, Raffaello talks about the role of the concert hall, and why he favors a less formal setting for live music; the adaptations the current classical music model might need to make to ride the waves of change; and the desire to bring classical music to as wide a public as possible without undervaluing the intimate live music experience.
