The Co-Director of streaming platform Melbourne Digital Concert Hall explains how the need to help Australian artists drives the project’s incredible momentum.

How does it feel to have produced over 170 concerts and raised over $700,000 for musicians through Melbourne Digital Concert Hall since March?

It feels both wonderful and surreal. When we streamed that first concert on 27 March, Chris Howlett and I could never have imagined that six months later, more than 350 Australian musicians would have performed on an MDCH stage in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Berlin, London or Singapore.

We owe so much to the many supporters who cheered us on from the start, and especially to our founding partners...
