On March 27, Mr. Biegel composed a "Waltz of Hope", and recorded it from home https://youtu.be/q5GZLwR4-gk. It will soon be available for sheet music purchase.
"As we continue to follow strict instructions to stay at home, it has been a duty of love to bring music to people who join me every Saturday. By now, we all know people close to us, and family members, who have been afflicted by this violent virus. Doing what we can to protect them from our physical presence is the most important thing we can do. I hope everyone tuning in will enjoy the music for the fifth concert."
In July 1997, he performed three times from Steinway Hall in New York City, to global audiences receiving the video stream for the first time. These recitals are preserved on YouTube at Mr. Biegel's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/biegel88.
