concerts

Chris Martin, Pink, Yo-Yo Ma and other musical artists are taking to social media to offer music in a time of anxiety and isolation during the COVID-19 outbreak. Check it ALL out below.

Martin performed a 30-minute concert from home, Pink performed “Make You Feel My Love”, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma performed Dvořák’s “Going Home”. Additionally, Lin-Manuel Miranda offered a link to a tune cut from Hamilton, Italian tenor Maurizio Marchini sang from his balcony, and John Legend is planning his own concert on Instagram Live at 4pm ET today.

And Brandon Flowers, Gloria Gaynor, and Nicole Scherzinger did some musical hand-washing.

In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort: Dvořák – "Going Home”

Wish I could send you peace of mind via this app.
Alas.
But I can send you music no one's heard. Here's a cut Hamilton/Washington tune called I Have This Friend. No one's heard it, not even Kail.
Funnier if you picture me and @ChrisisSingin singing it.https://t.co/lhkLP0jQeT
