Foss: Hope to see performing arts return in 2021 | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Shares0 Every once in a while, a friend sends me a link to an online concert featuring a favorite musician or band. I always appreciate the gesture – it’s nice to know my friends are thinking about me – but I’ve never actually watched an online concert, even when it stars a performer I’d happily open up my wallet to see. Even now, 10 months into a pandemic that has shuttered the nation’s concert halls and performing arts spaces, I just can’t get excited about watching a concert on my TV or computer. There’s nothing quite like live music, and I’m eagerly awaiting the day when our local music venues are up and running again.
