Await the long Covid tour

Await the long Covid tour

PR message:
I wanted to let you know about cellist and composer Joshua Roman’s Immunity project, centered around his experience of Long COVID, which he will tour to Long COVID clinics around the country this fall, and release as an album on Bright Shiny Things, October 4.

The Immunity program features music ranging from J.S. Bach, Allison Loggins-Hull, George Crumb, Caroline Shaw, Leonard Cohen, and two of Roman’s own compositions. The varied works are woven into a narrative that traces key moments over the last three years, as Roman has navigated the complex challenges of chronic illness, ultimately finding a newfound strength in his vulnerability.

In Fall 2024, Roman will tour the Immunity program to Long COVID clinics across the United States, giving intimate performances to patients suffering from the chronic illness. Sharing music and community with other Long COVID patients, the Immunity Tour seeks to bring awareness to the condition and provide a safe space for patients to listen and engage in their shared experience. Events will take place at clinics in New York City, Seattle, Portland, Kansas City, St. Louis, and more.
