Co-Artistic Director Chris Howlett discusses how MDCH is spreading its embrace to more genres than ever.

As COVID again wreaks havoc on the arts due to the NSW lockdown, Melbourne Digital Concert Hall will broadcast live performances this weekend in its Standing With Sydney Series.

Melbourne Digital Concert Hall and Damian Barbeler’s hiberNATION Festival of the Lo-fi are among the initiatives honoured.

A year after COVID-19 shut down live music, co-director Adele Schonhardt discusses how an idea to stream concerts for a few weeks in lockdown has become Australia’s fastest growing national arts company.

Co-director Chris Howlett gives us a taste of what’s on offer in the festival’s second year.

The streaming platform, established to generate performance income for musicians during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been honoured at the 2020 National Live Music Awards.

The innovative online platform is teaming up with the National Art School to broadcast concerts from the Cell Block Theatre.

Victorian Arts Minister Martin Foley celebrated the milestone at last night's live streamed concert. Meanwhile founders Chris Howlett and Adele Schonhardt have exciting plans for MDCH.

The conventional wisdom says that for the performing arts the online space is difficult, if not impossible, to effectively monetise. We speak to the musicians and presenters who are making a go of ticketed live streaming events.

The successful streaming initiative which has helped sustain local artists during the COVID-19 crisis will now invite patrons to selected performances.

The successful streaming initiative will now consist of Perth and Sydney satellite evenings.

Fourteen concerts in eight days aim to support musicians affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
