The Atmosphere Choir
On 23rd March 2020, the United Kingdom went into the first of a series of lockdowns that would isolate people and pull apart communities that were created to bring people together.
The Atmosphere Choir was established in 2010. When our regular Friday sessions could no longer happen due to the lockdown, we needed to find a new way to keep our singers connected. Together we discovered Zoom choir – a way in which choir could continue throughout the pandemic whilst ensuring the safety of all our members. In late 2021 we slowly returned back to face to face sessions but retained the Zoom element for more vulnerable members.
