Legendary "Star Wars" composer John Williams also joined Saturday's all-star lineup. Minutes after 4 p.m. Saturday, Richard and Demi Weitz sat next to each other facing the same computer screen as they readied, for a 10th time, to co-host "Quarantunes," their pandemic Zoom concert series.
The series started two months ago as a way to celebrate Demi’s 17th birthday with a little music and some industry friends but Richard, a partner at WME, soon realized his Rolodex could serve a new purpose during unprecedented times.
He asked performers — singers, songwriters, musicians, Broadway stars and so on — to join the events from wherever they were in the world and do a song or three for an invite-only audience.
