Description: This week, Music Matters surveys the impact of coronavirus on the UK's music industry as the Chancellor of the Exchequer launches a package of help to free-lancers, benefiting most musicians. Tom Service interviews Sir Nicholas Serota about Arts Council England’s plans to assist institutions and individuals cope with the crisis. Tom also talks to Peter Holman about his book 'Before the baton: musical direction and conducting in Stuart and Georgian Britain' - with a contribution by Kati Debretzeni, lead violin of many Early Music ensembles in the UK. And as the London Symphony Orchestra makes a selection of its performances available online during this extraordinary period, there’s another chance to hear an interview with Michael Tilson Thomas, recorded last November, when he celebrated 50 years of artistic relationship with the ensemble.
