One year ago, when the world shut down due to the pandemic, many musicians felt silenced.
Empty stages. Empty audiences. Emptiness within us and around us.
As director of the Iowa City Flute Choir, I’ll never forget the day we found out our rehearsal space was on lockdown. One day later, I came to realize that it simply was not safe for us to gather and play music together.
At the time, I called it “a bit of a hiatus.” I e-mailed the group: “Please don t stop playing your flute during these couple weeks off, but instead embrace the opportunity to get lost in music and allow it to heal your soul.”
