Welcome to Directing Across Distance. We are a community of choir directors, music teachers, engineers, worship leaders, singers, composers, instrumentalists, and other musicians actively creating innovative methods for making music remotely, during the pandemic and into the future.
Our community is intentionally:
- Inclusive
- Civil
- Collaborative
- Interdisciplinary
- Inventive
It looks like musical ensembles, especially choirs, may not be able to resume normal operations for many months. Until the normal becomes possible once again, this space is dedicated to advancing music-making in the present.
We affirm the significance and importance of music-making as a way of exploring our shared humanity. We aspire not only to create meaningful and beautiful art, but also to promote teamwork and a sense of shared community. We recognize that there are multiple solutions to the challenges that face us in this unprecedented time, and welcome robust dialogue about the future of ensemble rehearsal and performance.
