“It’s great having music as an outlet…to switch your mind out of research and focus on something different and activate different areas of your brain,” says William Wang, a third year PhD student in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Wang and his ensemble group, the @mit_ribotones, have shared the healing power of music through a year-long series of live-streamed concerts to assisted living residents. “These were maybe the most isolated people in the pandemic. It's been nice to be able to provide music for them,” says Wang. At the link in the bio, sign up to attend his performance of Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto as part of 123rd annual Tech Night at Pops, on Friday, June 4 at 8 p.m. ET. . . . #AroundMIT @MITEECS #TechReunions
