The link below sends you to an amazing video of a world choir conducted completely online by Eric Whitacre. 2052 singers representing 58 different countries sing from the comfort of their own homes. Each portion sung is synchronized to create a virtual choir that rivals a live experience. Now although enjoying a live musical performance is more memorable, the visuals that accompany this musical achievement truly draw the viewer into the moment. I don't think that an online choir can ever take the place of a live musical performance, however, technology is definitely opening the doors to new and different avenues for more and more people to enjoy and experience different art forms. The question is now, how to proliferate the market so that these experiences are known by many more people.
