“Musicians everywhere [are] finding new ways to utilize technology to share their gift” during the global pandemic, writes Sarah Jones on Saturday (4/11) at Indianapolis TV station WTHR. The Indiana-based Carmel Symphony Orchestra “said they decided not to cancel, just postpone their in-person performances…. ‘We decided to postpone bassist Edgar Meyer’s concert ‘til next season,’ said Janna Hymes, music director. ‘The ticket sales were fantastic, and the concert was amazing. We just decided we could add it to next season…. We really play our best at concerts. We can feel the energy, it is quite powerful.… Always better with an audience.’ While many other musicians are performing live on social media, the Carmel Symphony Orchestra [is] posting weekly shows every Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ‘We have cuts from concerts that were filmed and we’ll play some of those and we intersperse them with interviews of our musicians speaking about different topics,’ said Hymes…. ‘We all live there and many of our players have other jobs, so you might know them that way. We play such a variety of music. I guarantee there will be something at every concert that they’ll enjoy,’ said Hymes.”
