Lockdown Orchestra

Listen to 150 musicians from across the globe perform as the newly-formed Lockdown Orchestra! The magic of technology puts them in the same concert hall as they play the new orchestral piece FLIGHT FANTASTIC by composer Ben Morales Frost.

This entire project was conceived, recorded and put together in 9 days, from first putting a call out on social media for players, to uploading this first video. We have players from 13 countries and 4 continents, and we hope you’ll agree, it’s an incredible performance and an amazing illustration of just how much musicians round the world want to continue playing music during the lockdown.
