Immunity by Joshua Roman
Immunity is an intimate musical exploration of cellist Joshua Roman’s life-altering experience of ongoing Long COVID, with music ranging from J.S. Bach to George Crumb, and Caroline Shaw to Roman’s own compositions. This debut solo album portrays an emotional journey through music, as the cellist confronts the impact of the illness that nearly ended his career and ultimately discovers a deeper connection to what's most important in life.
