Eric Whitacre launched Virtual Choir 3, the composite performance of his choral work “Water Night”, to promote his new album of the same name (of which more later). Once again, it’s transcendently beautiful.
3746 singers from 73 countries. Amazing, in every dimension.
If you missed the earlier editions, watch them – they are beautiful and remarkable.
