Get Involved
How can you get involved
Together In One Voice will be live-streamed tonight from 19.30 via YouTube as part of Manchester International Festival’s on-line programme MIF LIVE.
As Greater Manchester residents you are invited to join your neighbours from your windows, or your doorsteps, and in your streets as you sing along to a special soundtrack of songs curated by Musical Director Dan McDwyer and introduced by a few well-known faces.
Get involved by:
1. Joining a choir rehearsal: There will be a series of on-line rehearsals avaliable to enable people to come together and get pitch perfect in advance of May 28th and to learn the songs and harmonies. Absolutely no previous singing experience is necessary as all the songs we’ll be singing for this event are well known, so come along and have some fun! The on-line rehearsals will be avaliable here and in the section below and will remain accessible right up until the day so that you have time to practice.
2. Taking part on the night: On 28th May at 19.30 log on to MIF Live, take your tablet/phone and head to your window or doorstep to watch and sing along with the broadcast, which will include lyric videos for each of the songs. Don’t forget to film yourself and members of your household taking part in the sing along and send your footage to us for inclusion – links to FAQs on how here.
