If you blink you might miss Dr. Lynn Zechiedrich’s cameo on a United Nations Foundation’s music video, but you most certainly can hear her throughout the performance. Zechiedrich, a professor of virology and microbiology at Baylor and a classically trained flutist, joined 170 musical artists from six continents to create a music video of the Oscar nominated song “I’m Standing With You” in support of the United Nations Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization (WHO).

“The video’s message of hope, unity and ‘we’re all in this together’ is one that is needed right now,” said Zechiedrich.

Zechiedrich learned about the opportunity through her involvement with the Texas Medical Center Orchestra (the TMC Orchestra is misidentified as the Texas Medical Symphony Orchestra in the video credits). Its director, Libi Lebel, was contacted back in April by the video’s organizers who she new through her professional connections. Other members of the TMC Orchestra also took part in the video, including many other members of the Baylor community.
