Flash Chorus \u2013 much like the term \u201cflash mob\u201d, and the concept is similar as people come together spontaneously without having known one another before \u2013 and together they all sing in a choir. Previous choral experience? Not necessary!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"en-US\">Video produced by: John Paul Middlesworth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MiUwcmIoZBU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Amateurs are welcome, even people who usually only dare to \u201csing in the shower or in the car,\u201d Seamus assures:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<span lang=\"en-US\">If you\u2019ve ever wanted to express yourself creatively through music but were too nervous, Flash Chorus is the community for you!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Monday evening in the Motorco Music Hall in Durham: A group of about a hundred excited people have gathered in the early evening \u2013 almost all the seats are taken. Seamus Kenney stands in front of them, full of energy. There are a few musicians around him, including a string quartet of professional musicians. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Over the course of the evening, Seamus teaches the group two songs and once they\u2019re ready, they\u2019re recorded. \u201cEleanor Rigby\u201d from the Beatles is in the line-up tonight. It usually takes about 45 minutes and then the recorder, as well as several cameras, is switched on \u2013 the learned song is then recorded on video and later published on YouTube, where it can be seen by all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Seamus heard about the idea once while watching a Canadian TV show and wanted to try it out himself. The participants should have fun together, and should enjoy casually spending the evening in good spirits with other like-minded individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">The idea is wonderfully simple and the great thing about it is how incredibly well it works.
