Hay Music

 Despite the lack of live performances, Hay Music has been active online over the last year.

They've got two events coming up soon.

The first is free, on Tuesday 2nd March at 6pm, and is called Coping With Change: Two Views of the Professional Classical Music World.

This is in the form of a conversation between Paul Keene, the Classical Music Programmer at the Barbican Centre in London, and Nick Gethin, a cellist with the London Symphony Orchestra.  The conversation is chaired by Lucy Green, Emerita Professor of Music Education at University College London.  Nick and Paul are both members of the Board of Hay Music Trust.

Hay Music will be using the Crowdcast system, which they are hoping will be superior to Zoom.

Then on Thursday 11th March at 7pm there will be a concert by the Flora Brass Quintet.  The pre-concert chat from 6.15pm on Crowdcast will be free, but the concert itself will cost £7.50 per viewing device (or per viewer if the people tuning in prefer that, since all the profits are going to the players as a way of helping young musicians through this difficult time).  The players are all third year students at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

They also have a concert available to view until 16th June called Bach and the Romantics - tickets available from tickettailor.com  Further details can be found at www.haymusic.org

Tickets will be available soon
