The cancellation of concerts and performances worldwide due to the coronavirus pandemic has led many classical instrumentalists and singers to broadcast performances in their own homes via social media. 

To show our support for musicians around the world we will gather some of our favourite performances here for everyone to enjoy. We will keep this page updated, with the most recent performances at the top of the page, so do remember to check back regularly.

If you are an artist and would like us to watch your performance and include it here, use the hashtag #gramophone and we will find you!

At this profoundly sad time, we celebrate #Bach's 335th Birthday. Instead of playing tonight in Florence, here is his beautiful Little Prelude in C minor BWV999 from my living room in London. Love to all. pic.twitter.com/H68Bfy7hrI

Day Two of #UriPosteJukeBox sees us wishfully floating out of our apartment and to the seaside. Thank you to the multiple people who requested this sweet little bonbon — we’re always delighted to revisit it! Mr. Silverstein used to say, “Be careful or you’ll give me cavities...”

As my last concert booking is cancelled I couldn’t help singing a little from this wonderful piece of music. Practice continues and I remain hopeful that we’ll all be making music again soon, but boy do I miss my accompanist friends!! pic.twitter.com/Vpg72bWvoF

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could fill twitter with Bach instead of cancellations, fear & sadness? Time for a virtual Bach-a-thon!

Post a video of some Bach &, if you are able, donate to @HelpMusiciansUK to support those musicians struggling. #BachAThonhttps://t.co/bZVoWIq5cy pic.twitter.com/NOWr2uhOFr
