“185 voices from 12 countries join a choir that spans the globe: “Lux Aurumque,” composed and conducted by Eric Whitacre, merges hundreds of tracks individually recorded and posted to YouTube. It’s an astonishing illustration of how technology can connect us. Despite receiving no formal training until age 18, Eric Whitacre is one of the most performed composers of his generation.”

Music is a universal connection. This brilliant project, “A Choir as Big as the Internet”, is what’s right with technology, and a perfect example of what a “creative spark” can accomplish. The spark to try something different; the creativity to bring unlikely people together.
