" when you say say the Philharmonia's home is at Southbank, do you mean (Royal) Festival Hall?". Yes, Southbank is an arts centre consisting of two concert halls, Royal Festival Hall, the smaller Queen Elizabeth Hall (home of the OAE) and the Hayward art gallery. To check on events ( none at the moment !), Google Southbank Centre.
Sadly I have no idea how any of the halls or theatres can operate before and if a Covid-19 vaccine appears as social distancing (even if reduced to 1 metre) would appear to make the economic reality of running events doubtful due to the reduction in seating capacity. Aside from the venues , how will orchestras manage to continue to exist without any paying gigs for, maybe, another year at the best?
" I was made to play a couple of fortepianos - against my will I'll have you know! - when I was a student". I think it is fairly common these days for people to take action against institutions where they suffered from abuse in their youth :-).
