sINgSPIRE was LIVE at the NAMM SHOWCASE 2022

Video of Eric Whitacre interviewing Ashely Ballou-Bonnema, CEO of the nonprofit Breathe Bravely before the showcase performance. Several students from Breathe Bravely's virtual vocal program, sINgSPIRE, participated in the LIVE virtual performance of Sing Gently at The NAMM Foundation Grand Rally for Music Education powered by JackTrip. Singers on zoom sang along in time with the live band at the same time! What a showcase of the life-giving power of coming together as one voice - virtually. What a breathtakingly beautiful moment to be in-house at the conference and witness the impossible become possible - voices from across the country coming together LIVE to breathe life and breath into something that is born to connect us all.
