Anthems for the Covid-19 Pandemic

It’s been twenty years since soprano Sarah Pillow first called on me to read aloud some letters to Galileo from his daughter Suor Maria Celeste. The occasion was a concert of 17th century music at a church in Manhattan. After that Sarah formed the early music group Galileo’s Daughters, which includes her musician husband Marc Wagnon. Now that performing in person is problematic, Sarah and Marc offer weekly “anthems” for the confined from their studio in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.
