Chorus America: Participatory Performances

Hershey/Crocker, Omni Hotel, Los Angeles, California, United States

Eric joins Los Angeles Master Chorale’s Grant Gershon for a session as part of Chorus America’s Annual Conference.

From sing-along Messiahs to virtual choirs, there is incredible power in creating giant communities of singers. How can choruses do that in an effective way? Large-scale participatory choral extravaganzas are popping up all over the globe as people everywhere use their voices to break down barriers. Eric Whitacre and Grant Gershon will share some of their most inspiring experiences and talk about exciting plans for the future.
