Watch: Berklee Students Create Virtual Orchestra
The students recorded a Burt Bacharach to offer some cheer at a difficult time.

More than 70 Berklee musicians performed Burt Bacharach's “What The World Needs Now Is Love” in a video posted to YouTube Sunday. Student Shelbie Rassler, who majors in composition, says she came up with the idea after the pandemic forced everyone to leave campus.
“Just a little something to brighten your day,” Rassler wrote.
