I need 32 singers to join me and form the world’s first LIVE VIRTUAL CHOIR at the closing presentation of the TED conference on March 1^st, 2013. I am looking for 32 singers from 32 different countries.

We are working to display the Virtual Singers from across the globe on large screens, performing simultaneously with a live choir on the stage at TED. Virtual Singers will see a live video feed of me conducting and will hear a feed of the choir from the stage.
