Venerable Carnegie Hall joins new-media push to take classical music to more audiences, Agence France-Presse reports in New York.

In a new push to expand the market for classical music, Carnegie Hall is launching free live webcasts to reach beyond the aging in-house audience at the venerable New York institution.

Medici TV, a six-year-old French company that has already webcast many of Europe's premier classical events, will start its collaboration with Carnegie Hall on Tuesday with a recital by mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato.
