Choral Singing in America

Choral Singing in America: Nurturing the Country’s Soul is a visual representation of the breadth and depth of choral singing today. The film beautifully tells the myriad stories and sounds of American choral singers and leaders–stories that inspire, build community, foster hope, and showcase the tremendous social capital and community building of singing together. America sings in schools, in communities, in concert halls, on the streets, in churches and synagogues, in prisons, in hospice centers, and wherever hearts are moved to join in song. About the project: Choral Singing in America, begun in March of 2020, tells the story of who and why folks sing in choirs. Research states that more than 56 million Americans sing in organized choral ensembles. Through recorded performances both historic and current, and through engaging, personal stories the tremendous impact of choral singing on body and spirit is told with a wide range of leaders who have shaped the highly varied choral landscape through generations of singers. Choral Singing in America: Nurturing the Country's Soul will give voice to what so many Americans have felt for generations: singing together offers healing, opportunities for artistic expression, friendships, and solace for singers, both trained and amateur. The project is not for profit and includes the creative team, Jerry Blackstone, artistic director; Emily Ellsworth, conductor and adviser; Brian Gaukel, filmmaker; and Matthew Workman, executive director, and an Advisory Panel comprised of leading conductors, music educators, choral scholars, music industry leaders, and leaders of professional music organizations. We hope the film will be used for advocacy, inspiration, and education.
