’I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking of my fellow musicians, who have been badly hurt by the loss of employment and the broad prohibitions against live concerts.’ said St John. ’I hope that this series will, in a small way, provide some colleagues with performance outlets and offer audiences a little respite from the harsh realities of the pandemic.’
The series is produced in collaboration with the not-for-profit Paracademia center for music and #collaborative arts.
