AS we predicted, the “Selby & Friends At Home” initiative is now active and available on YouTube by entering “Selby & Friends”. The first offering is a recording from a live concert from 2012 with Kathryn Selby and guests Sophie Rowell, violin, and Clancy Newman, cello, playing Paul Schoenfield’s “Cafe Music”. They will continue to upload a new offering each week and these concerts are now free to the public.
