Photo by Felix Broede by Mike Nelson Could it be that live-streamed artistic performances will become more (if not totally) the norm, even after the coronavirus pandemic is a distant and unpleasant memory? “As confronting as the pandemic has been,” says Michael Christie, music director for the New West Symphony (NWS), “it’s given us lots to think about and tools to use down the road.
