For over forty years Dunfermline Arts Guild has been providing live chamber music concerts on Sundays in Dunfermline for members and friends, and we’ve just finished our 2019–20 season, where we offered a wide range of talented performers, interpreting “classical” in the broadest sense. Concert details are still available through this linked page. We have been planning our 2020–21 season, and even announced our first concert on 11 October, but things are currently in some disarray due to COVID-19! Hopefully you are aware that our regular concerts are supported by funds channelled through Chamber Music Scotland. We've finished our season, but others are having to cancel concerts. CMS have made us aware of some online, streaming concerts that might help lift morale a bit, so we are using this page to point you in their direction.
CMS have decided to do their own small part in supporting freelance musicians, many of whom have had months of paid gigs and performances cancelled. They've put together a series of Streaming Home Concerts featuring some of the musicians they work closely with, who will be streaming concerts straight from their living room to yours. CMS will be paying the musicians a fee, but also welcoming donations from those who are able, in lieu of a concert ticket. These donations will go directly to the musicians. The current schedule is shown on the image, and the play-list for the final two concerts is given below.
