May update

With concert halls and churches closed for the foreseeable future, musicians are not finding life easy. But many have found adventurous ways of performing nonetheless, and we want to support them.

So we are making plans to bring our supporters some exclusive performances in an online music series.

In the meantime, here are a few recommendations from players we have hosted before, which we think you will enjoy.

Jamie McVinnie (organ) recorded this stunning minimalist piece by Philip Glass at St Andrew Holborn, London on 23 March just minutes before the lockdown.

 Alex Metcalfe (piano) continues to broadcast some illuminating short recitals, like this one.

Steven Devine directs the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in the second of their online "Bach, the Universe, and Everything" series. An entire Bach cantata performed by musicians in lockdown.

Cantabile, the London Quartet, give their take on Zoom meetings in their typical style with this lovely song with a twist at the end.

Finally, the King Charles church YouTube channel continues to build a library of church music, for the congregation on Sundays but also for your enjoyment.
