A global choir, united in song.
This Make Music Day, singers across the globe will come together for Taking Flight — an innovative choral experience connecting communities through music.
On June 21, at exactly the same time in venues around the world – in Canada, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, the US, and more – members of the public will gather to learn a popular song on the spot, 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.
Choral directors in each country will select their own popular song for the occasion, in their local language, 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.
Taking Flight is coordinated by Hugh’s Room Live, an independent music venue in Toronto Canada that previously joined Make Music Day in 2024 for Pulsations. All Taking Flight events are open to anyone, with absolutely no charge, drink minimum, or age restriction. The public is coming to sing! The more the merrier!
Complete details will be posted in May.
