We are singers, conductors, and teachers. We first gathered to create. The singing we do gives us the opportunity to be creative, but it does far more than that. It leads to new resources that serve as an example of what we can accomplish together: scores, guide tracks, video, and audio.

The thrust of our efforts is in developing and showcasing techniques, speed, and opportunities we can carry forward into whatever comes next, whether face-to-face, at distance, or some hybrid of the two. We believe these opportunities will prove to be exponential in number and variety as individuals come together to brainstorm and solve problems.

At the 1941 contest in St. Louis, after two afternoons of elimination, eleven quartets were selected to face the audience on the night of July 5. When the final

Choristers of Upper Dublin

Chorosynthesis Singers

The top-down approach focuses on ideals and strives to work on creating projects that move us toward those ideals on a national level. This approach involves much deliberation, conversation, and careful interaction among organizations at a national level and will be instrumental in creating models and direction for communities at a lower level.

Simultaneous to this top-down approach, Chorosynthesis is getting involved in the trenches. This second approach is key. We believe that our involvement on this practical level will help us become more aware of how we might refine the projects and models being created at the national and more abstract levels (see above). By taking these two seemingly opposite approaches, we hope to meet in the middle and to contribute to a world where the choral art and its communities are thriving and preeminent.
