When the pandemic hit, the music stopped for the young musicians at The Chamber Music Center of New York. That is until they realized they could create a harmony that would lift spirits and resonate around the globe.

The young musicians say they felt isolated and alone when they couldn't come together to play during quarantine.

Instead, they found ways to play their music virtually with a Swiss Youth Orchestra. It’s part of a new documentary called, “A Virtual Orchestra Across the Ocean.”

"The Music Stopped. No playing together which I really miss,” said one performer.

“It was one of those evenings I was just thinking at home yeah now I should be on the stage, now peace of mind should be played; now I should be working with people. Now I should do music,” said another.

"It was a fantastic idea in this time of sorrow and depression to do something together to make music together in a very different way,” said Hermann Ostendarp, Founder and Conductor at IL Mosaico Youth Orchestra.

The students played the Egmont Overture to honor Beethoven's 250th birthday, a symphony that has tragic themes overcome with hope and light. They say they feel this is symbolic given the coronavirus impact felt around the world.
