Our unique virtual reality singing project is now live! We’ve teamed up with University of York to develop an innovative way of singing together in unusual or out-of-the-way places, through the power of virtual reality!
In March 2019, a hearty crowd of singers gathered in Whinlatter Forest Park in west Cumbria to sing some Songs of Peace. With Storm Freya approaching, we sang in an outdoor forest shelter before seeking the warmth of the log stove in Barbara and Sara’s education yurt! Dr. Helena Daffern and her team from University of York Electronic Engineering department have turned our singing workshop into a unique online experience, so that you can sing with us without leaving home.
