MMA-ECHO-Summer2020

Overview

Across Europe most of our venues are temporarily closed, this is an essential measure which we take very seriously as part of the essential civic effort we must all take to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Music and Arts of course go on, more so than ever in times of adversity, whether through the rousing song of the Italian public on their balconies to the ingenious creativity of many individual musicians performing from their homes and bringing their art to those in need.

As venues across Europe we wanted to join together and to collaborate in order to offer you a selection of wonderful music from many of Europe’s leading concert halls, delivered direct to your homes.

We invite you to travel virtually with us around these beautiful European venues and cities, in a series of wonderful performances, streamed via facebook every Tuesday at 21:00.
