Concert 02 | Making Music Virtual Concert Series

Welcome to our second Making Music Virtual Concert! With many leisure-time music groups unable to meet together or perform as usual during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re thrilled to be able to digitally showcase and celebrate virtual performances by our groups from across the UK.

Fortnightly from May until September, we’ll be featuring a selection of leisure-time music drawn from our membership, from choral societies to gospel choirs, community choirs to symphony orchestras, brass bands to ukulele groups, handbell ringers and more. So pour yourself a drink, kick off your shoes, and settle down to watch a selection of fantastic leisure-time music!
