On June 21, singers across the globe will join Taking Flight — an innovative choral experience led by Toronto’s Hugh’s Room Live, connecting communities through music.
At venues in Canada, Germany, Ghana, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, Turkiye, the U.K., and the U.S., members of the public will gather to learn a popular song in multi-part harmony. After this rehearsal, a global streaming broadcast will begin, where each choir will perform their song live, taking turns so that every participating country can watch every other country’s live performance on a large screen at the front of each room.
Taking inspiration from birds, whose songs transcend national boundaries, choral directors in each country have selected music on the theme of “Taking Flight.” The event will close with a collective rendition of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds, sung by every group in harmony around the world.
