Small steps towards the new normal
My day job has been particularly irksome during lockdown, a situation exacerbated by the absence of the usual consolation of singing with the St Albans Cathedral Choir at weekends. So along with my fellow lay clerks I was very happy to learn that sung worship was to be reintroduced over the summer, albeit in an extremely modified form to begin with.
A new dawn
The impact on the choral world of the pandemic has been extreme and I for one was distraught at the loss of a hobby that brings so much joy to my life. However, what has shone through this crisis is the determination of the choral community to pull through. The internet abounds with virtual performances, constructed by music directors and sound engineers by laboriously stitching together the individual tracks recorded by each singer.
Strange times
Like everyone else, since March I’ve been switching from finding how remarkably normal things have been with the freedom of not having a regular busy weekly timetable to realising the seriousness of the situation with the future road plans being terribly uncertain – especially for us choral singers who I fear will be one of the last to get back to any sort of workable normal. I have found solace in using the time to reflect and readjust my life.
Future concerts
Voix de Vivre is committed to bringing you the best in choral chamber music and we are very much looking forward to seeing you at our next concert.
