In its own words
Live concerts increased marginally and educational programs experienced a drop in revenue due to a reduction in class sizes and an increase in student cancellations. Rental revenue for live stream services increased as demand was higher due primarily to the musicians performance trust fund renting the concert space for a number of live stream productions.
