Casper ter Kuile lights a candle in front of his computer screen to mark the start of a global videoconference where the healing power of singing proves contagious. The virtual singing group, which meets on Zoom every Sunday at 1 pm EST, seeks to unite voices in isolation during the coronavirus outbreak The group sang the chorus in Scots Gaelic to "The Boatman," ter Kuile's favorite song, and ended with a simple but powerful message in this time of uncertainty: "Done nobis pacem," Latin for "grant us peace."
