Last April, we launched our first virtual choir project, Coldplay’s “Fix You.” This was our way of honoring the graduating seniors in our choir.
Four months later, with the pandemic still in our midst, we would like to share our latest offering: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Pie Jesu” from his Requiem. We decided to put together this virtual choir rendition as our way of showing our solidarity through music, and a prayer for our University community during these difficult times.
I would like to thank all those who participated in this special project: students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guest musicians of the University. Thank you for helping us maintain the choir community alive during social distancing. I cannot wait to make more music with all of you again soon.
Gratefully,
Joseph Legaspi
University Director of Music
