UPDATE
Heartfelt thanks to all who tuned in for our concert last week. We are so touched by the lovely messages we have received from near and far. I will collate them soon. In the meantime, here are 2 of them. “Your recital last Sunday was an absolute joy and such a symbol of hope in these difficult times”

“Thank you so much for treating us to this wonderful music. It is wonderful to be able to hear such a professional performance and a real tonic in a frightening time”
A lovely article in The Dundee Courier about the concert:
At this time of isolation and lockdown, we all need some comfort, and a sense of connection. Please keep sending messages, feedback and questions!
Due to Covid19, concert halls all over the world are shutting down.
Christina Lawrie and her violinist husband Marcus Barcham-Stevens (Scottish Chamber Orchestra Principal 2nd Violin, Co-leader, Britten Sinfonia) want to keep the music going, and will broadcast regular concert of violin and piano music from their living room.
