The National Virtual Medical Orchestra brings together classical musicians in the medical field, giving them a chance to perform and connect. 'We try to play all the notes, but if we hit the wrong one, it's not life or death,' one doctor says.
"I got a lot of emails after we posted our first video," says violinist Dr. Erica Hardy. She says the orchestra's virtual performances are a way to give back to the community."I got a lot of emails after we posted our first video," says violinist Dr. Erica Hardy.

Medical orchestras are not a new phenomenon. Masko says that the concept has exploded over the last couple decades, but that the sphere's fast growth had led to fragmentation and that few ensembles knew about each other or were in close contact. That's changed now with everyone forced online. Dr. Erica Hardy — an infectious disease specialist in Providence, R.I. — plays violin in the orchestra. She says that health care workers turning to music-making shouldn't be an incongruous idea.
"I think for most of us who've had the experience of singing"Happy Birthday" for someone over Zoom in a group, you see that that's not really something that's practical in this medium," he says."What we actually do is we've worked with a pair of absolutely fantastic producers to do these performances, which is vital."
