precarious times for performers according to the local chapter of the american federation of musicians 95 percent of their 7000 local members are out of work we've never experienced anything like this and thirdly art of career is pretty much disappeared. for online before including things like that but it's just not the same feeling of course there's not going to work to go around concert halls and performance spaces like the iconic lincoln center were among the 1st places to close in the pandemic and they're likely to be the last ones to reopen not only depriving musicians of their livelihoods but also new york of its life blood. 60 shows with 100 performers have been scheduled organizers can't say where or when for fear of drawing too large a crowd. word is starting to get around this neighborhood known for the arts

just as new this energy that makes new york the bit more of the way i think you are you could be that close and be able to see the performers interact with each other was really fascinating and usually can afford seats that are. a bit like a musical scavenger hunt at a time and a neighborhood busy where such a performance is the ultimate prize. cristen salumi al-jazeera new york. quick look at headlines now thousands of people in london have been protesting against the handling of a vigil for sarah every odd woman abducted and killed earlier this month large crowds gathered outside london's metropolitan police headquarters and the houses of parliament sara rods body was found on wednesday and a serving police.
