RSM People: Becky’s story

March marked the second anniversary of the UK government’s unprecedented decision to put the country in a national lockdown to counter the emerging threat of Covid-19.  Two years and several lockdowns later, the struggles the economy has been through has been well documented, particularly the deleterious effect successive lockdowns has had on the hospitality and nightlife industries. What is less widely-reported are the individual stories of the people working in these industries. For DJ and producer Becky Saif, that loss of earnings has hit more than just her bank balance. The knock-on effects run much deeper, to the point of affecting her physical and mental health.

RSM and BAPAM Healthy Practice Webinar Series

RSM and BAPAM Health Practice Webinar Series 2021

We are delighted to be able to announce the next set of webinars within our Healthy Practice Webinar Series. Expanding on some of the subjects discussed during the initial series, as well as feedback received from attendees and recent patterns in our grant giving, the next set of sessions will consider aspects of musicians’ mental and physical health, for those who are working, as well as those who are retired.

The success of our webinars has also enabled opportunities to partner with academic research projects, to consider in more detail subjects raised at the Playing on the Edge webinar in March 2021, and the focused support of brass musicians, following the launch of our Philip and Ursula Jones Fund.

2021 Jacqueline du Pré Charity Concert

Jacqueline du Pré

Our Annual Jacqueline du Pré Charity Concerts at Wigmore Hall are the main fundraising and profile-raising events in our calendar. The 2021 concert was due to take place on 16 April, featuring Emmanuel Pahud, Trevor Pinnock and Jonathan Manson. Current COVID-19 restrictions will allow the Concert to go ahead; however, a live audience is not permitted. We have considered options for livestreaming and despite offering other benefits, having no audience at Wigmore Hall will very much change the nature of this long-standing event.

As such, following discussion with the artists and Wigmore Hall, it has been agreed that this year’s concert is postponed until 2022. We are very sorry for this disappointing news and will announce a new date as soon as we are able.
