Summary

An accomplished cellist, TED Fellow Joshua Roman has practiced his instrument daily since he was a child β€” until a severe case of long COVID almost robbed him of his ability to play. In an inspiring talk, he plays a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach, shares how he found his way back to music and then performs a staggering new solo composition, titled "Immunity."
