Digital Stage: For better online rehearsals!

Due to Covid-19 regulations, most choirs and ensembles across Europe and beyond are no longer able to rehearse or perform as they used to, and the digital tools currently available are not satisfactory.

German non-profit initiative Digital Stage is aiming to create a tool that will help choirs and ensembles to have a better experience and really make music together online.

Read more about this initiative which the European Choral Association is supporting as a contributing partner. Even though the festive season of donations is over, Digital Stage will be very grateful for your donation and will make good use of it to develop the software further which ultimately will help the whole sector.

If you want to contribute to the development of this tool which has the potential to make a significant difference for so many artists in the world, including singers in choirs and ensembles, please support Digital Stage by donating here.
