With the current climate of live Classical performance and changing needs of orchestras and ensembles, Wise Music Classical has compiled a selection of compositions that are ideal for onstage social distancing to inspire and help modified plans for the 2020-21 classical season.

These have been grouped into Strings, Mixed Ensemble, Opera, Sinfonietta and Past Classics.

Within each category you will be able to find a large number of appropriate pieces to explore as well as key works and highlights, with available recordings, scores, and other assets embedded into each work's respective webpage.
