The RPS Conversation - Music on the home front (part 1)

We are pleased to present the next part of our new series - The RPS Conversation - addressing the extraordinary outburst of music-making at home since lockdown began, what it says about the nation’s musical spirit, and what it might signify for the future of music-making in the UK.
Introduced by RPS Chief Executive James Murphy, the conversation brings together four people who have each done remarkable musical deeds in lockdown: the pianist pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason whose performances at the family home have attracted millions on Facebook and BBC TV, conductor Helen Harrison who - with the Blackpool Symphony Orchestra - created one of the biggest viral hits of lockdown, violinist Catherine Arlidge whose joyous webinars for the National Children’s Orchestra and her own family exploits have been keeping spirits bright, and choral director Ben England who united 3000 people to sing the Messiah at home as part of The Self-Isolation Choir.
The conversation is filmed in two parts. Click here to watch the second part:
