Classical Music PR
Since 1996 Quite Great has been helping classical artists of all different shapes and sizes – with all different stories to tell.
From Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Really Useful Group then work with Deutsche Grammophon through to Universal Classics and Jazz. We were in at the beginning of Classical cross-over and understood that talent is key but ‘the story’ opens the hearts of the public.
From Classic FM to Gramophone Magazine, from Radio 3 to You magazine and from Cross Eyed Pianist to your local paper, the Quite Great Classic Music PR and Promotions Team have worked with prominent classical artists.
Going back to the days of the Three Tenors helping to establish legendary artists such as Russell Watson. Breakthrough artists like the fabulous Gardar Thor Cortes. The truly stunning Camilla Kerslake, Marcelo Alvarez, Salvatore Licitra and Michael Nyman.
Yet you only need to search the wonderfully poignant ‘Paul Studer Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’ with also some information outlined below to discover why we emphasise the emotional importance of the story behind the classical talent.
That is one of our strengths. We help uncover the narrative that knocks on the doors of classical and mainstream media then helps knock them down.
Do please look at the case studies below and you will understand why that belief is always there when looking after our artists.

A Silver Spoon, The Story of Princess Diana & Dodi
How Does Quite Great Help Promote Classical Music?
One of the many talented musical clients who we had the pleasure of working with this summer was the Anglo-Welsh composer Lisa Logan and her latest project, ‘A Silver Spoon’, a new chamber opera looking at the love story of Princess Diana and Dodi. Our job was to raise the profile of Lisa and her opera music to the British classical and mainstream press, with a focus on both English and Welsh press.
To achieve the most successful PR campaign for Lisa Logan and this opera, we firstly had many discussions with Lisa to fully understand her vision, desires, aims, and the particular press and media targets she most wanted to focus on. After the series of meetings and ensuring everyone was on the same page, we created our successful list of ‘Quite Great PR Pebbles‘.
The campaign flourished and with our established contacts and respected reputation with the media, ‘A Silver Spoon’ opera was successfully covered a range of great PR covering national and regional press as well as making sure the Classical world were aware of this emerging talent, highlighted by the feature on BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’.

Classical Pianist Antimo Magnotta
Classical pianist Antimo Magnotta came to use with not only an incredible album but with an equally extraordinary story.
Taking time to speak to Antimo both in person and through regular phone and email chats, we were able to fully understand the journey he took to releasing his new album. The story behind Antimo’s album began when he was resident pianist on the cruise ship, The Costa Concordia. Antimo was playing on the fateful night in January 2012 when the ship hit rocks and sank off the coast of Italy, seeing the loss of 32 lives. Grabbing onto debris, Antimo survived in the freezing waters but the trauma of the event has stayed with him and was the primary influence of the album and was a cathartic process for him to create. Antimo’s remarkable story allowed us to contact our friends across the media in areas such as BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine Show, Evening Standard (where he also played piano live) and BBC Breakfast on BBC 1.

Yet there is always one thing that puts a classical artist in front of many other artists who create other musical styles, PASSION!
The desire to be heard, be seen and also, the desire to think very creatively.
Hence we look back to the wonderful days of helping Russell Watson when his career started.
Or the wonderful flow of ideas with Cortes resulting in extensive coverage at the Classical Brits. Clever ideas help artists to grow, and we aim to develop relevant ideas to get the artist noticed.
