Before the Lockdown: Video & Photos from a California Schubertiade

Back in March, just before COVID-19 forced students home early for the year, Thomas Aquinas College, California, hosted an informal concert, or “Schubertiade,” in St. Cecilia Hall. Photos from the concert never made their way to the website, as more pressing events took precedent, but we offer them now as a reminder of what campus life was before and how, God willing, it will be again soon:
