Piano players around the world unite during pandemic for virtual recital
REUTERS: When the coronavirus forced millions of people around the world into lockdown, many sought ways to connect with others and learn new skills online.
Ane app invited aspiring pianists to learn the song "Yous Raise Me Up" for complimentary.
It turned into the world'due south largest virtual recital, said the creators of the app, Playground Sessions, subsequently posting a video of everyone playing together online this month.
"We didn't just want to bring musicians together. That'south been washed a lot. Information technology's great... just this was really nearly the 30 days leading up the recital where people had to learn," said Playground Sessions main executive Chris Vance in an interview.
Over 7,000 people from 52 countries took part in the class, he said, and almost 1,000 submitted videos of their performances - now edited harmoniously together.
"It gave everybody something to focus on during the pandemic that was totally removed from the pandemic," said Len Dozois, a retired manufacturing management worker from Georgia who took part in the class.
"Learning something new is always skilful but in this instance it was phenomenal."
