America’s medical musicians unite like never before, vastly expanding their patient rosters to mend spirits around the world with healing harmonies in John Masko’s latest venture.

Last May, the music director of the Providence Medical Orchestra — which shuttered its operations in March due to the pandemic — founded the National Virtual Medical Orchestra, bringing together 50 doctors, nurses, first responders and medical students from 15 medical orchestras across the country.

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.
