Seattle Piano Expert Ben Klinger Interviews Renowned Pianist Frederic Chiu on Piano Whisperer Podcast

BELLEVUE, Wash., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — How do classical musicians engage their audience during a global pandemic? For critically-acclaimed concert pianist Frederic Chiu, it involves thinking outside the box — livestream concerts, exclusive recordings, and juicy insider info. But for Ben Klinger, it’s simply business as usual as he spotlights compelling stories of musicians, songwriters and composers on his Piano Whisperer podcast.

In the latest recording, Klinger entices Chiu to share details on how his Classical Smackdown series is keeping fans engaged during COVID-19. This popular event pits two composers against each other, and a global audience votes on their favorite. The goal? To help empower listeners to realize they have an opinion about classical music (even if they don’t know much about it). Chiu also explains how he’s maintained personal connections with his fans through his Friends Club, which provides members with exclusive recordings, performances, tips, and inside information.

I love telling my guests’ stories in a way that honors their work while introducing listeners to the nuances that make each artist unique. I’ve discovered we can all find wisdom in their journeys."
