Roanoke Symphony Orchestra Director shares inspiration

Hi everyone,

I know how hard many of you are working right now. Our community knows it, too.

David Stewart Wiley, the music director and conductor of the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra, recently shared with me a splendid two-minute performance of the theme from the movie "Rudy," written by award-winning composer Jerry Goldsmith. It features Wiley on piano and Julee Hickcox on flute. David asked me to share it with you and as a reminder of how deeply grateful the community is for the work you are doing fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

I hope this music helps bring you a moment of peace and inspiration as it did me! And thank you all for the important work you are doing.

Listen to the music here.
