The virtual choir

Well, it looks like this fall I’ll be part of the Canadian Chamber Choir as it conducts workshops and tours out of Vineland, Ontario. Very exciting–I haven’t had the chance to sing with a top-notch choir since my last year in the University of Regina Chamber Singers, then conducted by Kathryn Laurin, and that was three or four years ago now.

Actually getting together physically with other singers to form a choir might be old-hat in a few years, though: a singing computer scientist at the University of Manchester hopes to develop the ultra-broadband technology needed to enable choristers from all over Europe to create seamless and polished live performances online without even being in the same country, much less the same concert hall.

That would be cool–but not as cool as I expect this fall’s actual physical choir to be!
