As a lifelong chorister, Coronavirus is breaking my heart. We now know that singing and loud talking can spread virus-laden droplets much farther than 6 feet. But singing yards apart from one another presents a challenge for ensemble (musical blend) for all but the most professional choruses. In any case, it is nearly impossible for a large group of singers to find rehearsing / performing spaces that would accommodate such a widespread formation as would be necessary. I fear that choral singing may be out until herd immunity is achieved, whether or not an audience can be assembled.

Yes..as chairman of my choir I am reluctantly having to reconcile to the fact that it may in fact be years, not months, before we can call the choir back together for rehearsals.
