COVID - 19 and Musical Futures International

A message from all of us at Musical Futures International

-In these uncertain times all of us at MFI would like to send our support to everyone struggling to keep up with the constant round of new guidance, announcements and news which seems impossible to avoid wherever you are in the world. 

In response, we have taken the difficult but necessary decision to postpone TheBigGig2020 conference and all of our other workshop activities scheduled between now and the end of June. 

Events over the past few days including the declaration of States of Emergency, travel restrictions, social distancing, the uncertainty of whether schools will be open or not, ongoing and new school closures in Europe and Asia and medical advice suggesting that COVID - 19 will remain an issue until at least June or July means that we cannot confidently proceed with planning these events at this time.
 
Our intention is to re-schedule as soon as it is safe and sensible to do so and we will spend the next few months preparing for this. If you have already booked onto any of our workshops, we will be in touch shortly and will confirm the new dates when available. Hopefully you will be able to join us at a workshop in Semester 2 and beyond.

We trust that you all stay healthy and well over the coming few weeks. Meanwhile, please read on for some suggestions for positive things that you can do to stay connected with us and with each other!

Ian, Ken, Anna, Stephen, Steve, Annette and all the MFI Team
