Stelios Kerasidis first performed in public at the age of three, and has played in New York's Carnegie Hall and the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Coronavirus lockdowns are no barrier for musicians who want to record together: remotely: as British singer-songwriter John Miles and the Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra showed with their new release.

Miles sang and played the piano at home in the northeast of England, while the others performed their own sections elsewhere in Europe, following a click track of sound cues to keep time. The tracks were combined in a studio.

When 7-year-old Sophia Cheung hears a truck park outside her home in Hong Kong, she grabs her sheet music and runs out the door.

In the truck, instructor Evan Kam, holding a sanitizer bottle and wearing a face mask, greets her by a piano.

With schools shut since late January because of the coronavirus outbreak, which has killed four of Hong Kong's 890 cases, students have been asked to take classes online.

But that won't work very well for piano lessons.

With schools shut since late January because of the coronavirus outbreak, which has killed four of Hong Kong's 890 cases, students have been asked to take classes online.

But that won't work very well for piano lessons.

Ming’s Piano, a music school with 12 teachers and about 200 students, has hired three trucks to deliver lessons at students' doorsteps and save its business.

She was one of those affected by cancellations when her Mar 1 concert in Paris was called off. However, that didn’t stop her from performing for her fans.

While at a Paris train station to make her way to her next concert venue in the Netherlands, she met some fans and decided to give them a very special treat.

She dropped her bags and sang them a song, which she recorded and posted on Instagram on Wednesday (Mar 4). And as luck would have it, there was a piano at the station, which she played as well.
