Live Music Now is a national charity providing accessible music sessions in community settings across the UK (https://www.livemusicnow.org.uk).
 
Live Music Now is organising weekly live virtual concerts for adults in Wales who are currently shielding or isolated at home due to the pandemic. This programme is made possible with funding from the Arts Council Wales Cultural Recovery Fund.

  • Book for four live virtual concerts just for your home between now and March 2021 at a time and day of your choosing.
  • Choose from a range of musical genres that you best enjoy, from contemporary singer/songwriters to classical wind instruments, jazz pianists, harpists and more!
