András SchiffNadia F Romanini
On Jan. 7, András Schiff sat alone on the stage of Londonâs Wigmore Hall, playing to an empty venue and a virtual audience he could not see. If he was fazed by the empty seats in the hall, he did not show it. Schiff is a musician whose refinement at the instrument is matched by the eloquence of his musical commentary, and he spoke about each work in the all-Bach recital casually yet with insights deriving from decades of study and performance.

Woodson developed Negro History Week, near the February birthdays of both President Abraham Lincoln and the abolitionist Frederick Douglass, in the belief that new stories of Black life could counter old racist stereotypes. Now in this age of racial reckoning and social distancing, our need to connect with each other has never been greater.
