[music]

Brian Lehrer: It's The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. We are coming into the show in an unusual way today, not with our usual theme as you can hear, but with music performed by members of the New York Youth Symphony because we're not doing a regular Brian Lehrer Show today. We've all been looking for ways to commemorate the one-year anniversary of when the pandemic really started in our area. Today, we're making our contribution.

This intro music was contributed by Trilogy, a Chamber ensemble of the New York Youth Symphony. That's Olivia Pantoga on violin, Lila Holyoke on cello, and Riley Barker on piano, helped by Tomoko Fujita, their coach. It's Shostakovich's Piano Trio in C Minor. It was one year ago today, March 16th, that the New York City public schools went all remote. That was a big turning point locally, of course, for so many families and staff. It was also a year ago today that many of my colleagues and I at WNYC began broadcasting from home.

We'll be doing education segments all week in conjunction with the schools' anniversary. We decided to mark the occasion of today by using this space to hold a memorial of sorts for the nearly 30,000 New York City residents and thousands more throughout our area who died this past year from COVID-19. Today's show was our attempt at creating ritual to honor the lives that have been lost and to honor the people in our community who are grieving those losses personally.

What we will hear today, we call "Reading Their Names." Here's what it is. While there is no official list of the local people who have died. Our colleagues at The City, that's the nonprofit news organization The City, have crowdsourced a list of 1,780 names as part of a project called "Missing Them." Some of you will remember that here at The Brian Lehrer Show a while back we invited you to be the ones reading those names. 445 of you signed up and read four names each. I took my turn with the rest of you and I'm somewhere in this recording we're about to hear. Because we took all those readings and strung them together, the result is the nearly 90 minutes that we're going to broadcast right now.

To be clear, these names represent just a small percentage of those we've lost right here in the listening area, but this is the list that our partners at The City were able to compile and confirm. Listen with us if you can. You don't have to listen to the whole thing, of course, but maybe take a few minutes to stop and hold this space with us. If you've lost somebody or more than one somebody, we mourn with you now. May your memories give you strength someday, if not today. We begin our reading of the names.
