Virtual Choir

For anyone who wants to believe in the humanizing possibilities of a connected world,here is your anthem.

Featuring 2052 performances from singers in 58 countries, the Virtual Choir 2.0 - singing Whitacre's "Sleep" - is the largest assembled online in history, and far surpasses Whitacre's original goal of 900 voices.
