British Columbia Choral Federation Virtual Town Hall – Session #1 (Safe Singing)


BC Choral Federation (BCCF) Executive Director Willi Zwozdesky (Vancouver Men’s Chorus) and Morna Edmundson (Elektra Women’s Choir/Enchor) are joined in conversation by Dr. Michael Schwandt (Medical Health Officer – Vancouver Coastal Health, and formerly with BC Centre for Disease Control).

Recorded live on May 21, this was the first in a series of Virtual Town Hall sessions designed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on BC’s choral community in various ways. Session #1 provided much-needed insight into the current uncertainties surrounding the safety of group singing here in BC.

While this information is at times specific to BC, this Virtual Town Hall also provides some insights on the uncertainties of singing at this time.
