Maestro Nestor Tedesco continues to put an abundance of time, effort and energy into his admirable commitment to the Orquesta de los Barrios. During these difficult times of physical distancing he has maintained close contact with all 18 members of the orchestra, mentoring them when they approach him digitally with their personal problems, encouraging them to practise at home, doing all he can to acquire for instance reeds and strings for their instruments -extremely difficult of course when shops are shut. He has also given them group classes (see screenshot) to motivate them so they maintain a feeling of belonging.
