Here’s a little something I’ve been working on with some fabulous colleagues in lockdown. Thanks to Wessex Glyndebourne Association for asking us all to contribute to a streamed version of their regular “Music from Beaulieu” concert. w-g-a.org.uk/VBProgrammePriv…
Last gig I went to just before Lockdown was my nephew’s youth orchestra in Glasgow as part of their music festival. Not much audience as things were already getting dodgy and most groups could not attend. #LetTheMusicPlay
