This work will be followed by the dance of planets and stars of La Lluna by ‎Ian Shaw, a work based on the poem by Jacint Verdaguer and winner of the second edition ‎of the El Cor Canta International Composition Competition for Choir and Orchestra. The ‎concert will be rounded off with a call for peace with Missa per la Pau (Mass for ‎Peace), by Salvador Brotons.‎  less

I wrote an essay about group singing for Time, and I mentioned ChoirPlace as one of the places to find a choir.    This is a picture of a summer sing I went to on Monday, hosted by the West Village Chorale.  

I'm always trying to get more men singing.   For some reason some men don't like mixed group, but prefer to sing with their own kind. I must admit that there is something special about hearing all male (or all female) voices in harmony together - i...
