World Choral Day is an annual celebration observed on December 10th of this year. There is one thing in this world that will unite all people irrespective of language and origin. It is none other than music. Choral is a type of music sung by many individuals together, usually during concerts or worship. World Choral Day celebrates those choral people and their unison in bringing the best music, thereby uniting the people.
“I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don’t think I’d have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church’s choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice.” – Katherine Jenkins
