One World: Concert "Together at Home

ICYMI, ONE WORLD: Together at Home's Virtual Benefit Concert is going to be big. It is a worldwide event that will be streamed on April 18, 2020, at 8 p.m. EST. The concert will benefit those in need during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including frontline medical workers, first responders, and those in need of food and shelter during this volatile time. This is not a concert in the traditional sense, with famous performers and speakers live-streaming or recording from their homes or offices. Thanks to social distance, there is no live audience, but we, the home-based audience, have many opportunities to see and hear. Here is all we know so far and what you might see if you tune in
