A new video by the Boston Children's Chorus (Robbie Jacobs, director of artistic programming) features an arrangement, by Southwestern's School for Music Vocations Faculty Member Dr. Jeremy Fox, of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." This virtual choir video features more than 200 children from around the world – from Boston, Massachusetts; Washington DC; Capetown, London, UK; Moscow, Russia; Bangalore, India; Southend, UK; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Princeton, U.S.; and Tallin, Estonia; Denver, Colorado; Singapore International School in Hong Kong; Tucson, Arizona – and a wonderful soloist named Andrea Baker, who resides in Dublin, Ireland.
Fox said, "My joy and purpose has become more and more evident to me: to connect with individuals and hope to affect a positive change in them. To help them remember that they are each unique, that they have a voice. And that if they are brave enough to use their voice, they can serve to inspire others, who can inspire others, who can inspire others. This video puts all of these things together."
The video is dedicated to the staff of Massachusetts General Hospital and all healthcare workers everywhere, who are working selflessly and tirelessly to save lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you to Jacobs and the staff of the Boston Children's Chorus who made this happen, and congratulations, Dr. Jeremy Fox!
