For many
folks, the Covid pandemic lockdown did not make a big difference to their daily
work life. Given the technology now available, working on computers in the family
room allowed them to do most of the tasks required of them back in their
offices. Some even preferred the “new normal” of going to work, dressed in
jammies with a dog at their feet.
But that’s
not the case for performing musicians. Working remotely is not an option for a
concert soloist.
The pandemic
denied these artists more than not being able to do their job. It limited the
very essence of how they communicate emotions and feelings to others.
