Choirs should travel. This week, I’m making a list of the reasons why.
The connections.
I’ll never forget meeting choirs from every part of the globe at the World Choir Games in 2012 and 2014. I’ll never forget sharing the stage with choirs from Denmark, Florence, Australia, and many other places. We built connections, we shared music, we crafted memories together.
You can forge connections with the choir in the next town, too, and those have value. But these worldwide connections are precious to me.
They remind me of what connects us all. They remind me that we are more alike than we are different. They remind me of the power of music to connect.
The connections are powerful.
