Artists from throughout the world are getting creative while being forced to stay home amid the coronavirus pandemic and restrictions placed on public gatherings by authorities hoping to flatten the curve of the epidemic in their respective countries.
Dozens of videos have gone viral, including singers on Italian balconies and other creative expressions in these strange times.
Numerous Greek entertainers, orchestras and musicians are no different, with several taking to their social media accounts to entertain fans from afar.
