Webcast Concerts

In February and March 2009 Psappha in collaboration with Lancaster University launches three special Lancaster concerts to celebrate some of the most exciting and powerful new music from Britain and around the world.

Filmed and recorded, the concerts will also be available shortly after the live concerts as webcasts through this web site and also through the Psappha website www.psappha.com

This is the second series of webcast concerts using the latest technology to reach a wider, larger audience and to gain permanence as a streaming webcast (essentially a broadcast over the internet).

The three concerts will be available on-line from the dates and times below. You will need a broadband connection to view the stream. If you would like to be reminded when each concert becomes available please send an email to tim@psappha.com.
