The purpose of the article is to present the results of an empirical study, conducted by the author during the quarantine period on the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach and includes a group of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction), as well as a group of special methods: content analysis of scientific literature on the research topic; sociological survey method (questionnaire survey); method of statistical data analysis. The data obtained during the empirical study was processed using the advanced analytics program Neural Designer. The materials of the research were the answers of respondents to three questionnaires containing questions about the quality of concert and educational activities in a distance format. Based on the results of the empirical study, the author of the article came to the following conclusions: the main problem of the concert and educational work of music institutions in a distance format is the low level of awareness of the potential target audience about educational projects, which is associated with the lack of information about musical educational projects in social networks, as well as with the absence of online broadcasts based on a subscription in the media environment.
