2020 05 29 Bob Chilcott Virtual Choir Jesus Springing

Live from his home in England composer Bob Chilcott guided us through one of his beautiful choral pieces, in which you can sing your own part at home. Unfortunately, hearing each other sing as one choir is technically impossible. Still, you’ll experience connection with your fellow singers. And you can sing as loud or soft as you like and happily make mistakes without distracting anyone! At the end of the workshop, we sang the piece as if in performance. As an extra, every singer can choose to record their voice and send in their recording afterwards. Later on, our sound engineer Osar Bouwmans put the voices together, adding the moving images of the screened singers. A tricky process, but as you see successful, a downloadable souvenir of this workshop: a video proving we have formed a real choir together.
