Feel Good Friday…The Power of Virtual Connection

A few years ago Bobby McFerrin created a cd called Circle Songs. He took members of an audience and brought them on stage and had them make a particular sound or sing a phrase or note. He created songs out of seemingly disconnected noise. Celebrated composer and conductor, Eric Whitacre, has taken the concept into the virtual social media world. Using his original composition, Lux Aurumque, he had over 185 people submit videos of them singing one part of the song (soprano, alto, tenor or bass). Then he connected it all up. The ordinary individual performances became an extraordinary virtual choir. See it here:

We have the ability to connect more and in more different and interesting ways. Ways we can create our own tribes glued together by mutual interest and shared experience. What’s your tribe?
