Tuesday 6 October 2020 Chamber Choir in lockdown You can lockdown a nation, but you can’t lockdown creativity. I was delighted to work remotely with our Chamber Choir boys in producing this virtual performance of Light in the Hallway. In the process of recording there were hiccups, there were challenges, there were frustrations and there were difficulties, but the end result was worth all the work and effort. There is no doubt that this was a learning curve for us all, including me! However, with a carefully recorded guide track and rehearsal video, the boys rose to the challenge.
