More than 140 musicians gathered in central London to attempt a Guinness World Record for the "Longest Acoustic Music Live-Streamed Concert". And for 26 hours, musicians took to the stage to perform a variety of music, from classical to pop, with one uniting theme, and every piece of music performed was written by a woman or non-binary composer. And the Let HER MUSIC Play event, organized by the Donne Foundation, featuring music that championing gender equality and inclusion, has now become the "Longest Acoustic Music Live-Streamed Concert".

At the concert, 96 musicians performed a wide range of music from more than 140 woman and non-binary composers, arrangers and songwriters. The concert, streamed live for more than 26 hours, reached an international audience of more than 10,000 in dozens of countries as well as London.

15 days ago, I wrote a post about the Latest Musician Census Report, which revealed the challenges faced by women musicians. If you want to read: Latest Musician Census Report Reveals Challenges Facing Women Musicians. Therefore, I can say that the "Let HER MUSIC Play" concert and its success made me happy and I would like to see more such events. I think we should support such organizations and events.

Enjoy the music and stay with Love.
