The husband and wife team of pianist Christopher Cano and mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano will perform a mini-recital from their Phoenix living room at 2 p.m Friday, March 27.

As far as we can tell, it will be one of the first Arizona classical music streaming events since the state shuttered all theaters and venues in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

"We just wanted to say a little thank you and hang in there. We're all in the fight together," UA alumnus Cano said Friday morning as he and his wife, an in-demand opera singer, were preparing the twin computers they are using to stream the performance on Arizona Opera's Facebook and Instagram pages. "And there is just a lot of people stuck in home looking for something to uplift them."
