Musicians’ diary service to close after 40 years

Morgenstern's, a UK diary service for musicians, will close, its founder and operator has announced.

Julian Morgenstern has been providing services free of charge for 15 months but says the pandemic has crippled his business.

"I know that even though orchestral work is beginning to start up again, a lot of clients continue to suffer financially and would struggle to pay.

"I can’t continue to do this – there are too many expenses to cover and I’ve been running through my savings to keep the business alive."

After 40 years in operation, Morgenstern's will cease services on September 19.
