Virtual Choir Recruits Singers From Across the Globe

It may not be the world’s most traditional choir, but it is certainly one of the most diverse. 2,950 singers from more than 73 different countries have come together over the Internet to create an incredible collaboration, all without leaving home.

The virtual choir, which has singers hailing from South Africa to Australia to Kazakhstan and everywhere in between, is the brainchild of Eric Whitacre. Whitacre, the composer and conductor of the choir, who admits he isn’t much of a singer, spoke to ABC News about his inspiration for the project.
