As we look back at what undoubtedly one of the strangest years in many of our lives, I feel a tremendous sense of gratitude. Classical Crossover Magazine was born out of a teenage girl’s love for music. Back then Charlotte Church, Hayley Westenra, Becky Taylor, and Russell Watson inspired me to pursue a career in music and all these years later, it’s still incredible to witness the amount of new talent bursting onto our computer screens.
February
No.1 Classical Chart-Topping Soprano Joanna Forest joins the team to write a very special column, The Rhythm of my life
May
Natasha Hardy soprano and songwriter joins our team to kickoff an online interview series entitled, Conversations with Natasha Hardy.
Also in May, we kick-off our first ever online virtual concert with 5 more to follow in the lockdown series
October
Classical Crossover Magazine launches a Patreon profile to offer music fans exclusive behind-the-scenes content and early releases.
December
Our first major Holiday giveaway is launched for subscribers. Everyone on our list received a complimentary copy of the No.1 album, A Thrill of Hope.
We shared our final concert of the year on December 20 entitled, A Crossover Christmas.
It’s been an amazing year at Classical Crossover Magazine and I’m so grateful to our lovely team. Thank YOU for watching and supporting me. This magazine is still very much a labor of love and we only want to see it move forward. However, for that to happen we will need your continued support. There are many costs associated with the magazine (web hosting, ads, graphic/video tools, content scheduling, etc) and we invite you to become part of our CCM family by joining us over on Patreon if you are able.
Thanks again for a wonderful 2020 and we look forward to sharing our new virtual concert series, The Sound of Crossover, and reprising A Crossover Christmas in 2021.
With much love,
Natasha Barbieri xx
