Thanks listener!
Good thread idea. :)
The Philadelphia Orchestra is doing something similar:
https://www.philorch.org/live
The Philadelphia Orchestra and Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin performed BeethovenNOW: Symphonies 5 & 6 concert to an empty Verizon Hall for live broadcast on Thursday, March 12 on Facebook Live.
The Orchestra's radio partner, WRTI-FM 90.1, will broadcast the March 12 performance on March 13 at 2 PM EST and March 15 at 1 PM EST. The performance will also be available on WHYY-TV at a later date.
"As The Philadelphia Orchestra suspends concerts and events in response to COVID-19, we offer this special concert—performed to an empty Verizon Hall—to be streamed live to audiences throughout Philadelphia and around the world," said Orchestra President and CEO Matías Tarnopolsky. "To share music with our communities in this way speaks beautifully to the power of music to connect us all—even when we cannot be together in the concert hall. We are very grateful to WRTI for their long-term support of the Orchestra on the radio and to WHYY for responding so warmly and swiftly in the current circumstances."
Berliner Philharmoniker is offering the Digital Concert Hall for free for 1 month until the end of March

Nice to hear (read) about these concerts! I saw something on the news today that various non-classical artists were posting live concerts and using this hashtag to try and encourage other artists to do the same. Like this one on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B90Ft_knpuT/
#TogetherAtHome
Perhaps some classical artists will join in?
Gramophone has a number of streaming options listed:

I can't help but notice there is a series of Sibelius symphonies with Lintu preceded by a sort football commentary by the conductor and another guy. A couple of bars of music and then the two men start talking about what happened, probably.
PS it turns out that the other sports commentator is the composer Osmo Tapio Räihälä.

Yes, the other guy is
Osmo Tapio Räihälä, a Finnish contemporary composer,
he also presents introductions to the works in Finnish RSO concerts on the live recordings, available in the videos of whole concerts, with talk before the concert, during intermission & after. That's the pianist
Jukka Nykänen, but
Räihälä did an interview with
Colin Davis about
Sibelius in Ainola, sadly not available online anymore. There's no subtitles, though lots of guest interviews are in English, and as separate videos.
That Sibelius football commentary is available here with subtitles I presume ;):

Oh, crumbs! Do you remember *what website had the interview with Colin Davis and roughly when it had been posted? One might be able to google it and/or find it through the internet archive...hopefully?
Reread your posting, so I'm guessing that the interview was on the YLE's website?
PD
p.s. What is YLE Areena? Also, is there a way to see it in English? Wish that I knew Finnish! :(
Best,

YLE is the Finnish National Broadcasting Company, and the Finnish RSO is their orchestra. Areena is where all of YLE's online video/audio content is.

Thanks. And you're fast! I had modified my original post a bit and was also going to add that I googled the website and saw, as you said above, that it's the Finnish NBC. :) But thank you! ;D
Do you remember when the interview was from? It might be possible to find it via the internet archive (forget the name of the site)...or, maybe, you, me and others could request them to put it back online (if they are legally able to at this point in time?)? I'd love to read it!
Best wishes,

The date it was last broadcast was in May 2013, shown again in memory of Davis. Looking at the interwebs, I found a transcript (http://dustofhue.com/2013/07/special-voice-that-nobody-can-silence-sir-colin-davis-sibelius/#sthash.NXgTObpp.dpbs) of it.

Now is an excellent time to learn Finnish, and acquaint oneself with a culture that is
1 not all about the almighty dollar and
2 highly successful.

The Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra is streaming a recent Bruckner nr 6 with conductor Bernard Haitink on its Facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/Concertgebouworkest/videos/318687269111265/
The concert is preceded by an at home introduction by the leader of the 2nd violins. Best skip this as it is in Dutch.
Dear music lovers,
This weekend we picked a baroque gem for you.
On 9 February 2018 Vox Luminis performed Henry Purcell's semi-opera King Arthur at AMUZ. The story tells how during his battle against the Saxons Emmeline, the lover of the British king Arthur, is conducted by the magician Osmond. To save her Arthur needs to withstand several dangerous magic spells. Merlin, knights and sprites come to the rescue. The vocal and instrumental cast of Vox Luminis and the very engaging narrator Simon Robson presented Purcell's masterpiece in an exciting and lively performance. We are sure you will enjoy this performance.
You can find the concert on Soundcloud and on our AMUZ Facebook page. It will be available there from Saturday 18 April until Monday 20 April. The detailed programme and programme notes can be found at the end of this message.
Take care of yourself and of each other.
Pardon if someone has already posted about this, but I just found this now on NPR: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/17/816504058/a-list-of-live-virtual-concerts-to-watch-during-the-coronavirus-shutdown
Covers all types of music. :)

It seems like most live concerts (as in with audience attendance) will not happen until next year. This pandemic has also put sporting events, film/TV production, theaters, etc. on hold as well.
