Thanks for supporting our cause in keeping music alive. It’s a huge privilege for the SouthDowns Camerata to return to a live audience, but we know many events and venues can not reopen to reduced audience numbers, meaning the majority of musicians in the UK is out of work or on very reduced working schedules - particularly freelancers who form the backbone of the industry. Making music is our life and our passion as well as our living, and it is a very viable professional sector attracting huge numbers of audiences and economic value in good times - that’s why we don’t want musicians to retrain and leave the profession but to be able to bridge these times in order to play to you again soon. Help Musicians UK works directly with musicians in financial, medical or mental need. In addition to giving please consider writing to your MP about the importance music has to you.
