“It’s not quite what we’re used to, but we’ve made music for the first time in five months the past three weeks,” said Dr. Julie Hill, chair of the Department of Music. “We shall see how the students and all of us weather the challenges yet to come, but for three weeks, we’ve made some safe and beautiful music on our campus already, and more is yet to come.”
