Following a national broadcast of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) concert in October 2021, presented by Bristol Beacon at the Bath Forum, Bristol Beacon are set to live stream the forthcoming LSO concert, with Sir Simon Rattle, to care homes across the country.
The aim of the broadcast was inspired by the desire from both the musical giants to provide enjoyment for those in care homes who had been restricted to staying in, without visits, during the pandemic. Geoff Crocker, Chair of Bristol Care Homes, said: “To be forming a close partnership with Bristol Beacon on high-quality broadcasts of concerts like this is really fantastic.
The pandemic has been challenging for everyone, particularly care home residents and staff, but the use of technology to share such magical performances in this innovative way is a real legacy that we will continue to support.”
