Gareth Malone: Musicians face financial destitution during coronavirus outbreak

Gareth Malone has warned musicians face "financial destitution" as concerts are cancelled and venues are closed during the coronavirus outbreak.

The choirmaster and composer added it is frightening time for those in performing arts.

He is launching a digital music project, The Great British Home Chorus, to allow both amateur and professional performers around the country to sing together while social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak.
