Recommended Films/TV Shows

Thanks to all of you for your insightful comments. It's been a pleasure to read about your experiences and what you're all up to during these unusual times. I thought I'd start a new topic based on Andrea's recommendation. What are some binge-worthy TV shows or excellent movies you've seen recently that you would recommend to the orchestra members?

I'll start it off. I just finished Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, a series you can find on Hulu. It only ran two seasons (18 episodes) but was wildly creative and entertaining. If you've read the Douglas Adams books the stories are completely different, even if based on the same titular character. If you are a fan of mystery, comedy, sci-fi, or fantasy you'll probably enjoy this series.

Welcome to our blog!

This blog is a space for members of the Westminster Chamber Orchestra to post their ruminations on music and social distancing due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Share your thoughts on how you are coping, how self-isolation has affected you as a musician or as a student, what you are doing to keep up your musical skills, how we can maintain a sense of community as an orchestra while being separated, your feelings about cancelled/postponed concerts, and your hopes for the future. In short, post whatever your thoughts are on any of these topics or others.
