As part of the project, the Philharmonic will post videos on their YouTube, Facebook and Instagram from musicians including: violinist Jennifer Koh, cellist Alisa Weilerstein - and drag queen and musician Thorgy Thor.

People of all ages and musical skill levels are invited to join in the challenge by sharing some or all of their practice over 30 days on social media using the hashtag #Practice30.
