Young Monroe singer joins virtual collaboration of 300 musicians

Monroe performer Virginia Taylor Grabovsky recently participated in a virtual collaboration of "You'll Never Walk Alone" from Roger's & Hammerstein's Carousel, with 300 musicians from 15 countries to spread comfort and peace during this time. Link to the video is below.

The project was organized by Harrison Sheckler, a Brooklyn College Masters of Music student who resides in Iowa. "I left New York City on March 19th, anticipating a short absence. The Brooklyn College Choir had been preparing for performances with the New York Philharmonic, and then that was gone. Arriving home in Iowa, I found comfort in playing the beautiful song from the musical Carousel, 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. I embarked on collaborating online like so many others are doing. What started to fill the void of music collaboration has evolved to new meaning for me with the lengthened quarantine. Hopefully the words 'you'll never walk alone' along with the visual of 300 people joining together offers the audience some comfort and peace during this time. Stay safe and healthy my friends"
