Two doctors at the Columbia University Department of Surgery, an affiliate of New York-Presbyterian Hospital took time out from their already busy schedules due to the coronavirus pandemic to hold a “healing concert” in the lobby of the hospital.

The performance was shared virtually with all the hospital’s patients keeping in mind social distancing and quarantine norms. While general surgery resident Dr Peter Liou played the piano, orthopedic surgeon Dr Marc Dyrszka was on the cello as they performed composer Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns’s “The Swan”.
