Virtual All-Star Band to support WHO
A Virtual All-Star Brass Band is being brought together to help aid the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organisation. The band is being put together by the composer and journalist Andrew Wainwright, following the rapid increase in bands’ use of virtual platforms to perform and raise money for charity.
Andrew stated, "We have a truly world-class line-up of players signed up, representing around a dozen countries. It really is a who's who of players from around the banding world, and I am delighted that so many wonderful players have agreed to take part. It's safe to say it would be nearly impossible to get this group of players altogether in one room ordinarily, but due to the wonders of technology this is being made possible! I never imagined that so many of the players would agree to feature, so I'm very grateful to each of them for taking time out of their busy schedules to contribute."
Each player is in the process of recording their part to a specially selected piece and to build up to the release of the video, there will be a daily reveal of each section of the band via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/andrewwainwrightmusic/
The proceeds of the project will go towards the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, which is raising money on behalf of the United Nations Foundation to help fight the coronavirus around the world.
