today's ray of light
Composer and music teacher Erika Budai sent us a beautiful message of hope, that we would like to share with you!
Each night at 20:00 sharp, I sing together with my neighbour Chantal De Waele (Radio Klara icon) Verdi's Va, pensiero' (video). We started this musical initiative on March 20, and haven't stopped ever since. Every night we expand our repertoire with more classics. People passing by take a moment to listen, the neighbours open their windows to join us in our applause for all the health workers, the true corona heroes of our time! Because, that's why we are doing this, as long as it's needed, as long as we can... We wish everyone courage - and hopefully we will meet again soon at a live concert!
Thanks, Erika!
