A video created by students at the Berklee College of Music is going viral. The group created a virtual orchestra, performing "What the World Needs Now" while remaining socially distanced.

One member of the group shared the video on YouTube, with the caption: "Just a little something to brighten your day. What started as an idea on my flight home from college ended in a collaboration with some of the most incredible people. I couldn't be more grateful. Please share to help us promote positivity and optimism while we need it most."
