Virtual Choir

It all began with that single video by Britlin Losee, and my god how it has blossomed from there.

Our third Virtual Choir video, "Water Night", was released this past Spring and features 3,746 videos from 73 different countries. We pushed the technology much further this time, making it easier than ever for singers to join and submit their videos. We even offered voice lessons and tech master classes in Google hangouts, professional and amateur singers teaching and helping anyone who asked. And as always, there is no audition process: every single video submitted makes it into the final film.

Watch Eric Whitacre's talk above about a global choir that came together on YouTube and the power of crowd-sourced creativity.
