Awards
Classic BRITs announced
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 19 June 2013
Myleene Klass will host the Classic BRITs for the sixth year running this year, it has been announced. This year’s weird attempt to make classical music look like pop while keeping it separate from the BRITs’ actual pop ceremony will take place at the Royal Albert Hall on 2 Oct and will be broadcast on ITV.
The two co-chairmen of The Classic BRIT Awards committee, Decca Records President Dickon Stainer and Avie Records Director Barry McCann, said in perfect unison: “We are delighted that the Classic BRIT Awards is so established in the award season calendar and is stronger than it has ever been before. Developing a show that sits comfortably into the ITV format has not only increased viewers, but also subsequent sales of the performers and winners featured on each show”.
For an insight into what that ITV-friendly show is like, here’s Paul Morley’s no holds barred review of last year’s event for classical website Sinfini.
