we are a nation of singers
We make music in great concert halls.
We make music in places of worship.
We make music in the classroom.
We make music on the streets.
More than 54 million Americans sing in a choir.
One out of every six people participates in an organized ensemble.
And for the first time in a century… that has been taken away.
Even a pandemic can’t stop us from singing.
We’re finding a way.
We’ve created specialized masks, engaged in deep conversations and studies, and we have forged new technologies, all so we can continue to make music.
What is it about singing together that inspires such devotion, passion and perseverance?
Singing is powerful.
It's faith.
It's unity.
It's friendship.
It’s healing.
It’s therapy.
It’s a connection with the divine.
