THE CORONA CRISIS AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE CHORAL WORLD 2020 IS A YEAR THAT HAS SHAPED THE WORLD - AND THE CHORAL WORLD IN PARTICULAR - LIKE NEVER BEFORE. by Franziska Hellwig And then there was silence… Around the turn of the year 2019/2020, the first news about the novel Corona virus reached the world. China in particular, but also numerous other countries, found themselves in a difficult situation and everyday life came to a standstill. The virus continued to spread and new infections were reported daily. The Chinese city of Wuhan was hit hardest at the beginning of the year. But the rapid spread of Covid-19 soon meant that the entire world had to face the pandemic and all the challenges it entailed. This globe-spanning crisis had a profound impact on humanity - and the choral world in particular. We all had to keep our distance - and yet we have moved closer together - even across national borders! The pandemic brought public and private life to a standstill. In many places, a state of emergency was declared and a lockdown imposed. Stores, restaurants and cultural institutions had to close, and schools and workplaces were moved home. This life at a distance also hit the choirs of this world especially hard. Concerts, festivals and even choir rehearsals had to be cancelled or postponed and stages remained silent. In most countries, choral life has come to a complete standstill and many choirs and choirmasters have lost their financial support and perspective. Li Peizhi, president of the Chinese Choral Association, described the feeling of these drastic impairments of everyday life in an interview as a “train that comes to an abrupt halt”.
