Story
We made this in the first days of the lockdown. People were starting to share songs and performances - which we loved - but we wanted to get more people together - people of different backgrounds, anyone who loved music - big stars of the opera world like Joelle Harvey, Siobhan Stagg, Roddy Williams, Caitlin Hulcup, and Rob Murray alongside the inimitable Gwyneth Herbert alongside my neighbours and friends’ kids. So I arranged this fabulous Pete Seeger song and we ended up with 120 colleagues and friends (huge shout out to those of the amazing and inspiring ROH chorus who contributed - thank you!) including NHS staff and teachers. A special thank you to Ruth Gardiner (video edit) and Andy G (sound mastering) who helped get the video over the line at the end. Please donate if you can, even the smallest amount helps, and will help us come out the other end of this. We’re all in it together, we need music, now more than ever, and music needs musicians. THANK YOU
