The music industry has been one of the UK's major success stories in recent times, but Brexit threatens this success.
Brexit has had a major impact on the ability of UK musicians and their essential support staff to continue to perform in the EU and has similarly impeded EU performers wishing to bring their entertainment to the UK. Small and up-and-coming acts have been particularly hard hit, as they lack the resources to overcome the barriers that have been erected by Brexit.
What can be done? At this webinar we hear from 3 highly respected musicians who have faced these difficulties themselves. Howard Goodall CBE is a BAFTA and EMMY award-winning composer, Anna Patalong is an award-winning soprano and Julian Azkoul is the Artistic Director of our partners, the United Strings of Europe.
Tickets to this event are free, but we would appreciate your generous donations to give us the initial funding we need to make the Festival of Europe a reality.
