The Power of Music & The Virtual Choir

Good morning! My name is Sarah Williams. Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you felt completely lost? For me, music was the light. It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of my being. Moved by the melody, I found my way out of the darkness. I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.

Now, imagine having the opportunity to sing together with hundreds of other people while you are at home alone. This is the Virtual Choir. Created by Eric Whitacre, born on 2 January 1970, it enables people to sing with one voice. Joined by thousands of individuals from different countries, the choir makes the world a better place.

Music and culture go hand in hand. In London, a great city to walk in according to Samuel Johnson, you can hear classical music near Big Ben. Meanwhile, in some wildlife parks, keepers even sing to elephants before they put them to bed! Music truly connects all living souls.
