One Planet goes virtual

The Family Folk Machine was putting together a great concert that was to take place this past May. We decided in March to pick up with the “One Planet” songs this fall, after a pandemic-induced delay. But now we have learned that singing in large groups is a very efficient way to spread viruses, and it’s unclear when we can safely meet again to rehearse.

So we have begun to create a virtual One Planet concert that we hope to release sometime this fall. Our singers and band members are recording their parts from home, and our directors are editing them together. We have a stellar crew of board members pulling together beautiful nature photography and other visual images to create videos for the songs. The project is giving us a way of keeping the choir in touch and encouraging people to sing at home. And we’re really excited to share the results when the time is right!
