Amidst the Pandemic: Songs of Hope

During the summer of 2020, University of Illinois System President Tim Killeen invited music departments and groups across the system to produce inspirational musical videos to share with our university communities and beyond. Their work provided inspiration and hope as students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends weathered the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“These pieces are intended to connect us to each other, and to our universities in a time when circumstances continue to often keep us apart. I hope you find them as uplifting and inspiring as I do.” - Tim
