Eric Whitacre: A virtual choir 2,000 voices strong

In a moving and madly viral video last year, composer Eric Whitacre led a virtual choir of singers from around the world. He talks through the creative challenges of making music powered by YouTube, and unveils the first 2 minutes of his new work, "Sleep," with a video choir of 2,052. The full piece premieres April 7 (yes, on YouTube!).



The VC 2.0 video World Premiere is on Thursday April 7th at 6pm ET at the Paley Center for Media, NYC – tickets available NOW from the box office, (use coupon ‘Sleep’ for a discount) with a live webcast on WQXR.org too. The video will also be launched on YouTube that evening
