President Crutcher's cello interlude during COVID-19

Musicians worldwide are hosting informal concerts in their homes to lessen anxiety and bring joy in the current pandemic environment. University of Richmond President Ronald A. Crutcher, a classical musician, offered a cello performance from his home as a way to provide a measure of inspiration, encouragement, and comfort. Crutcher performed two pieces, including the first movement of the Eccles Sonata in G minor and “The Swan,” which comes from “The Carnival of the Animals,” a musical suite by the French Romantic composer Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns.
