Choral Singing In America

Choral Singing in America:
    NURTURING THE COUNTRY'S SOUL

SYNOPSIS
Recent research states that one in six Americans sing in choral ensembles. Choral singing provides opportunities for friendship, solace, soul-enriching artistic engagement, education, and deep joy. The health benefits of singing are well-known, but most singers would say they sing because they love it. Choral Singing in America: Nurturing the Country's Soul, the multi-episode documentary currently in production, will explore the myriad traditions of choral singing today, how they arose, and the cherished hope we gain from these shared experiences. Through recorded performances both historic and current, and interviews with a wide range of leaders who have shaped the highly varied choral landscape through generations of singers, Choral Singing in America: Nurturing the Country's Soul will give voice to what so many Americans have felt for generations: in times of division and challenge, joy and sadness, heartache and ecstasy, life is better when we sing and even better when we sing together.
