Shostakovich Prelude for Cello and Viola | Nathan Chan and Michael Casimir

A picture is worth a thousand words, but music is worth a thousand emotions. We were so moved by these words in direct response to recent acts of violence, terrorism and social injustice written by Michael Fernando (Instagram @moveitlikef3rny) that we wanted to honor it with this video. His words so precisely capture the role music plays in our humanity. We hope you enjoy Shostakovich’s Prelude for Two Violins arranged for Cello and Viola. Produced and performed by Nathan Chan and Michael Casimir. Special thanks to Michael Fernando, Mina Kim and Maddie Tucker for making this project possible.
