"This unprecedented time in our history that continues to unfold globally is devastating, frightening, stressful and depressing. So, we thought we’d weave a “concert” together for you, in the hopes that this will lift up your spirits in some small way. We also hope this will serve as a big THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to all first responders and essential workers globally who are enabling us to survive and get by with our daily lives.
