The lives of classical musicians over the last few months have been rather turbulent with diaries being wiped clean and uncertainty remaining on when live music as we know it might be able to return. It has been wonderful to see the innovative and engaging steps that many ensembles have made to keep elements of performance going, thereby both keeping audiences entertained and providing musicians with much needed work in these unprecedented times. These have come in a variety of approaches, from YouTube and Facebook premieres of pre-recorded concerts through to virtual concerts given by solo musicians in isolation. There has also been the creation of multi-tracked, virtual performances from early music ensembles and choirs that have no doubt pushed musicians’ technological skills to the limit!

covid-19时代的音乐和互联网

在过去的几个月中，古典音乐家的生活相当动荡，日记被清除了，不确定何时可以恢复现场音乐仍然存在不确定性。看到许多乐团采取了创新而引人入胜的步骤来保持表演元素的活力，这真是太好了，从而既保持了观众的娱乐性，又为音乐家们提供了前所未有的急需的作品。这些方法有很多种，从预先录制的音乐会的YouTube和Facebook首演到单独的音乐家单独举办的虚拟音乐会，都有不同的方法。早期音乐合唱团和合唱团还创作了多轨虚拟表演，无疑将音乐家的技术能力推到了极致！
