10,000-voice choir?

September 11, 2010 by Allen H Simon Leave a Comment

Plainfield, NJ — An award-winning city youth choir and Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs are thinking big when it comes to addressing the issue of local violence.

Really, really big.

H.E.R.I.T.A.G.E. (Helping to Enhance Resources by Incorporating The Arts to Gain Education) choir leaders and the mayor said they hope to draw as many as 10,000 people to Cedar Brook Park for an all-day music event next month, marking an effort to shatter a pair of Guinness World Records. According to choir director Donavon Soumas, those records include the world’s largest gospel choir, currently set at 1,000, and the most people performing sign language simultaneously to the same song, currently set at 4,796.
