Wearing scrubs and masks with six feet of space between them, the medical professionals serenaded other members of hospital staff in a “healing concert.”
Videos of the performances show other health care professionals standing to appreciate the entrancing vocals and soothing melodies.
While these medical maestros gave their concert in the flesh, other more established artists have been taking to the internet to dazzle audiences at home.
In March, Elton John, Mariah Carey and other performers helped raise money for COVID-19 relief in the Living Room Concert for America.
