Today's the day …………………….. for live music

I've just been to the most wonderful live concert - 'A Choral Christmas'  with Bob Chilcott, the BBC Singers and members of the BBC Concert Orchestra with special guest vocalist Katie Melua and presented by Jess Gillam, saxophonist. 

It was all happening of course, at the Barbican in London.  But the wonders of modern technology coupled with the driving force of the Covid pandemic brought the performance to our kitchen table.  We were able to enjoy the combined expertise of these talented musicians in the comfort of our own home.  It was very special - particularly when you knew that you were listening in real time when it was actually happening.

There will be another chance to hear the concert if you're interested.  It is being broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in Concert at 7.30pm on Friday 18 December and available on BBC Sounds for 30 days after that ……………….
