We’re any other board members there? I felt a colossal sense of catharsis and relief, shared I believe I sensed by all the performers, at being back listening in person to such high quality music-making. ( https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on...amtt-yuja-wang )

It is good that some progress is being made, and we can all hope that this doesn't make the pandemic worse than it already is. I hope that the concert was enjoyed by all.
i noted the "enthusiasm" for reading the notes off mobile phones - which I fear might be a really big distraction. However, the lettering in the notes for mobile phones is white on black, which might reduce the distractions. It can, of course, be argued that flicking through printed programmes during concerts is also a distraction, but in general - and this is a personal view - I feel that actually accessing phones or tablets during a performnce is not a good idea, and that reading printed notes is preferable.
