  1. There's something so very thrilling and unifying about hearing that many human voices in unison. The video clip gave me chills!

  2. Hi Willow,

    I do love to hear many voices. Whenever the Faure & Durufle Requiems are being performed I have to go. I cannot even imagine what 20,000 voices would sound like. One year I'd really love to hear this in person.

    Best,

    David
