Notes:

As countries went into lockdown in 2020, many people turned to music for comfort and solidarity. In Verona, neighbours sang to each other from their balconies; across the world, people participated in online music listening sessions that created an experience of socially distanced togetherness. Musicologist Nicholas Cook argues that the value of music goes far beyond simple enjoyment. Making and listening to music can enhance well-being, interpersonal relationships, cultural tolerance, and civil cohesion.
