In this episode, we hear about the three greatest performances in the history of SVU faculty: Prof. Megan Mason playing the viola at the Royal Windsor Theatre, Prof. Kyle Nielsen conducting the SVU choir at Carnegie Hall, and Prof. James Lambert rapping for his sixth-grade class. Together, with Dexter McCarty Middle School's football Hall of Famer, Prof. Dallin Lewis, they discuss the power of music, even during times of quarantine.
