When We Are Singing: Chattanooga Boys Choir Commemorates U.N. International Day of PeaceSeptember 21, 2020 - As part of their first few weeks of on-line rehearsals for the fall 2020 semester, members of the Chattanooga Boys Choir made a virtual recording commemorating the United Nations International Day of Peace. The choristers recorded Kevin Padworski's arrangement of "When We Are Singing," based on the Mexican folk hymn Somos del Señor. Stitched together from dozens of clips filmed in their own homes, the choir members are heard while images of the choir's recent activities throughout the region and performance tours around the world are shown, highlighting the important role of music and the arts in bringing peace and understanding to all corners of the world.

Social Distance-SING: CBC Composer ChatsIn March and April, members of the Chattanooga Boys Choir "met" with twelve composers on Zoom to talk about music the choristers were preparing in the spring. Choristers asked questions to learn about the inspiration for those particular pieces, as well as to learn more about the composer - how many pieces have they written, why did they choose to become a composer, what did they study. We are grateful for the time these composers spent with our choristers!
The Chattanooga Boys Choir is Social Distance-SING until further notice
