Free Concerts

In this difficult time, many organizations are offering free access to their archives. As we get more and more, we will put links here. 
The Berlin Philharmonic, one of the finest orchestras in the world, has offered to put their entire video catalog to stream for free for the next month, as they have been forced shut down along with most of the other great symphonies of the world. I watched a concert today, and besides them sounding like audio perfection, the production value was out of this World, and the hall they play in is simply beautiful. I felt like I was right there, turn the speakers up and really enjoyed it. Many of the most famous classical pieces of all time are on there, as well as many obscure ones. Being able to not only listen, but watch some of the best players in the world is well worth your time.
For you Jazz fans, Jazz at Lincoln Center has an incredible app called JazzLive, where you can stream many concerts in their archive. Again, the production value is amazing, and you have the opportunity to not only see the world-famous Lincoln Center, Jazz Orchestra, but many of the big names they bring into their smaller jazz clubs.
For many years, the Metropolitan Opera has been at the forefront of live performances streamed over the internet...you may have seen one at your local movie theater. Well, during this crisis they are streaming a different opera every night...click the button above to see what they are playing each day.
As of mid-March, all Broadway shows went dark, which we really felt as a program as our trip to New York to see Wicked, Hamilton, Phantom of the Opera, and Dear Evan Hansen was cancelled along with it. It looks like they won't be starting up again until at least Labor Day, but they have put up several shows for free, one per week, to tide musical fans over.
Without a doubt, some of the finest concert bands in the world come from the military, especially the top Marine Band, known as "The President's Own". Here, the group has offered up many of their live concerts for free streaming. Check out these amazing players!!!!
