Press Release
CLASSICAL MUSICIAN REACHES OUT TO TO HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS AUDIENCE VIA INTERNET (WEBCAST FILMED FOR SOUTH BANK SHOW)

Classical musician Tasmin Little will be broadcasting a performance of material from her recent free downloadable album “The Naked Violin” live from the IFDNRG/Showstreams Internet studios in Edinburgh on the 24th April.

The event will also be filmed by the South Bank Show as part of a documentary scheduled to be broadcast in June.

In line with Tasmin’s efforts to open the classical music world to a wider audience the broadcast will be aimed at reaching to the remotest parts of Scotland via the Internet.

Bringing her personal passion for classical music to new audiences.

In January 2008 Tasmin Little posed visitors to her site with a 3 step challenge: download and listen to her new CD for free, take some time to get to know the pieces and identify any barriers that remain for classical music.
This was a path no musician had ventured down before, not even the innovative rock giants Radiohead, who asked listeners to pay what they thought the recording was worth!

Be part of the event
The webcast will be available worldwide on www.tasminlittle.org.uk
on the 24th April 2008 @ 18:00 (GMT+1)

Whilst this webcast will be available for anyone in the world to view, Tasmin
is particularly keen on reaching Scottish audiences outside the 7 cities which have traditionally had less exposure to the classical arena in the past.

In addition to the webcast, Tasmin will be participating in a video discussion live with viewers on what barriers still remain for classical music.
