Charlotte Symphony violinist expresses her thanks with music

Using art to express thanks to our healthcare heroes

While Martha Geissler, violinist with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, is currently furloughed due to the COVID-19 crisis, she is using her art to express her thanks to you – our healthcare heroes. Martha has been with the Charlotte Symphony since 1981, and she understands the healing power of music. Martha brought her violin and a sign thanking healthcare workers and set up in the parking lot of Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center so team members could hear her music as they were beginning or leaving a shift.

"If it gives even five or 10 seconds of respite from what they have faced and what they will continue to face, I feel honored."
