University students who have been anticipating their graduation听鈥斕齝omplete with celebrations,听final recitals and capstone project听presentations听鈥斕齛re struggling with the abrupt end to campus activity as a result of COVID-19 closures.听

The setback prompted听Mykayla听Turner, who听has called Conrad Grebel University College a听second听home during听her time听studying听health听studies and听music听at the University of 蓝莓视频,听to record听听in the听Grebel听Chapel.听

鈥淢ykayla听offers music to bring peace and hope to others, as we all struggle to deal with a bewildering and bleak time in our world,鈥澨齭aid Laura Gray, a music听professor听and department chair.听鈥淗er graduation recital this year is a case in point, perhaps reaching more of us than it originally would have, had things gone according to plan.鈥澨�

As a parting gift to those who have supported her听in her musical pursuits,听Turner听shared听her recorded recital with a note of encouragement:听鈥淚 hope my recital brings you what you are in need of during this season - be it joy, peace, or hope.鈥澨�听

She wrote听that the final piece,听Quejas听o la听maja听y el听ruisenor听(Laments听or听The Maiden and the Nightingale), was her favourite.听

鈥淭he piece is one that expresses deep and captivating sorrow, perhaps that of a young maiden, but it concludes with a "bird call" of sorts.鈥澨齌urner听explained that this hopeful end to grief听felt especially fitting in the season of听Easter听and the 鈥渂eauty of spring marred by a听. . .听viral fear.鈥澨�

Turner said the piece acts as her reminder to 鈥渓ament well in this season听and听be convinced听that the nightingale still has the final word.鈥澨�听
