Choir by the numbers

All week I’ve been wondering just how many singers we had in the Monday morning and Thursday night “global” choir. Tonight–with the help of some photos–I was able to figure it out.

105 singers RSVP’d “yes” for singing before the Monday morning class and there were a 100 singers who actually sang that morning.

For the concert we had RSVP’s from 128 singers, but “only” 111 singers participated. It’s probably just as well, because I don’t see how we could possibly have fit another seventeen singers on the dais!

Singers ranged in age from high school to octogenarians, and came from the United States, India, Croatia, Italy, Germany, Japan, Israel, Hong Kong, Jamaica, and England. As I looked at the photos I was once again inspired and touched to see people of all races, ages, nationalities, and religions singing side by side with such joyful enthusiasm. We truly are a World Brotherhood Choir!

United in joyful service

Another first! This morning our humongous “Global Choir” sang in the Temple of Light for the first time, and it was beyond amazing! There were singers from (literally) all around the world; many of whom we were meeting for the first time. Some are quite new to singing, but from the first notes of the warm-ups they all sounded glorious!

I think it’s because meditating together, serving together, and singing together are beautiful ways of uniting our energies into one harmonious whole.

What a joy it was to be in front directing, able to see all the joy-filled faces and feel myself a part of (surrounded and uplifted by) this incredible energy.
