In this episode, we’re chatting with Joseph Piazza, Musical Director of the award-winning Golden Gate Men’s Chorus on how he is leading his 40-member group through the COVID crisis, and what’s taken the place of regular rehearsal meetings during the pandemic. We discuss the pros and cons of virtual choirs, and how the group is focusing on musicology and vocal health.
