The spread of the new coronavirus has completely changed the daily routines of people around the world. Many are trying their best to find a new normal during a pandemic. Musician Jodi Beder’s new normal takes her to her home’s front porch each afternoon. There, she sets up her music stand, sheet music for everything from Beethoven to the Beatles, and her cello, a large stringed instrument that is held between the player’s knees while the player sits. At exactly 4 o'clock each day, Beder begins to play. Neighbors soon surround Beder’s home. They stay at least two meters from each other, smiling and greeting each other from a safe distance. Beder, who is 69, is a professional cellist. She has played in orchestras, folk groups and even a rock band. She currently works with a non profit group that plays music for patients who are nearing death. She lives in Mount Rainier, Maryland, a small city just outside Washington, D.C. The city is home to a large number of musicians and artists.
