Petit Salon Sessions | NEW Sinfonia
To reach NEW Sinfonia audiences during Covid-19, we decided to put together an online concert series for music lovers to enjoy from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The title of the series, Petit Salon Sessions, was inspired by the concept of the orchestra’s musicians performing in self-isolation from all over the UK.
Each episode is comprised of a few short performances and introductions from the players and the videos are designed to be enjoyed as a short concert washed down with your favourite beverage.
Audio and video editing by Jon Guy Music.
