The creative geniuses that lead the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra have pledged to keep the music going – with a live stream of all their cancelled performances<\/a> on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra says while it was a difficult decision to cancel their schedule, health and safety is the highest priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnsuring the wellbeing of MSO audiences, musicians and staff \u2013 including those integral members employed on casual and contract bases \u2013 is our priority.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

\u201cWhile we cannot join you in the concert hall, we look forward to performing for you digitally.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Symphony is working to live stream performances of all their previously scheduled shows to boost morale in the midst of the rapidly evolving outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
