Since April 2020, Elliott Masie and Broadway Star Telly Leung (Aladdin, Glee, Rent, Allegiance) have co-hosted over two dozen one-hour Empathy Concerts. Together with many guest Broadway performers and business/learning leaders, they have explored the many facets of empathy during this intense time of crises in our world: COVID-19, racial and social injustice, working and schooling from home, the volatile U.S. election, and more.
