Is classical music in fashion? Who's listening and what are they actually listening to?
You might think classical music is timeless and sits above passing trends and fashions, but in this edition of The Listening Service Tom discovers otherwise. He talks to newspaper fashion director Lisa Armstrong about how trends are made in what we wear, and to music streaming curator Guy Jones, about what influences our listening habits.
And β spoiler alert - classical music is IN!
