After Covid closed down their other venues, the New York Philharmonic has been performing at the unusual location - a cemetery. They performed at the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn in front of a live audience, something they missed hugely this past year. The event was created by the Death of Classical, which hopes to bring classical music back to unconventional venues. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog #ClassicalMusic #LiveMusic #BBCNews
