WHAT IS A VIRTUAL CHOIR?
Basically, it's an assembly of geographically dispersed singers performing a choral work together. Individual singers, a conductor and a pianist record videos of themselves singing/conducting/playing their own parts and technicians coordinate the audio into a single performance.
Eric Whitacre (composer of 'The Seal Lullaby') is credited with probably the most inspirational virtual choir.

The Strozzi Female Choir is a non-auditioning choir founded in 2012 by singer and conductor Mariela Añazco.
The choir is based in The Hague and is diverse in age, nationality and culture. The singers are enthusiastic amateurs focused on exploring choral music through the uplifting performance of a choral repertoire for female voices.
Committed to singing a varied repertoire extending from works of classical music to masterpieces of our own time, the mission of the Strozzi Female Choir is to inspire women through music. The choir aims to create an atmosphere in which every member of the choir is given a place and feels a sense of belonging. At every rehearsal and every performance our goals are to explore emotions, musical sensibility and constant personal improvement.
“It’s all about coming together and enjoying the harmony a group of voices can create,” says Mariela Añazco. According to Mariela, “for many of us in the international community in The Hague singing together is also a great way of making friends and exchanging experiences.”
