During the COVID-19 crisis, arts organizations have switched to the virtual model of teaching and performing, and many have been able to attract more diverse audiences than they would otherwise have had in person. Virtual choirs have been very successful in accomplishing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Virtual choirs have made this distinct impact during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many participants have found that participating in a virtual choir has greatly enhanced their productivity and mood (Hendler). This paper will examine how arts organizations can learn from the successes of virtual choir projects to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion among community-based performers and their patrons.21 pagesen-USThis work may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
