Biography
Suzy Klein is responsible for commissioning all arts and classical music output for 大象传媒 television channels and iPlayer.
She oversees a huge range of programmes. From the incredible true-life tales captured on canvas in the returning format Extraordinary Portraits, to a celebration of Agatha Christie as a feminist icon in Agatha Christie: Lucy Worsley on the Mystery Queen, from a multi-part cultural survey of the postwar period from Simon Schama to an Arena film that revealed a revolutionary new reading of the poetry of TS Eliot, Arts shows range from premium reputational series to factual entertainment-style formats and award-winning singles.
From the work of the most feted artists in history to crafting at home, each title Arts makes brings new insights, surprising perspectives, and a deeper understanding of creativity in all its forms.
Classical music makes up a large proportion of Suzy鈥檚 brief, including commissioning The Proms for TV and events including Cardiff Singer of the World and 大象传媒 Young Musician. Working with the 大象传媒鈥檚 performing groups, her team have created a new series on 大象传媒 Four - Inside Classical - bringing the orchestras to TV viewers throughout the year. Recent single classical music programmes include Michael Tippett - The Shadow and the Light, The Alehouse Sessions, Tenebrae: Bach to Macmillan and the Vienna New Year鈥檚 Day Concert.
