STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION

Let your singing talent shine with Choir! Choir! Choir! and Kostis Maraveyas!

June 12 2020

Join the world’s happiest choir and perform for the audience of the online SNFestival RetroFuture Edition by sending in a video of yourself singing the Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends.”

The crowd goes wild as you take the stage. Every day, you’re singing sold out concerts in packed venues like… your shower, in front of the mirror in the elevator, wearing your headphones on the street, riding the car, at school, at work, when you’re out with friends.

If this sounds like you, consider this your invitation to unleash your vocal virtuosity on a real audience by taking part in the world’s most cheerful spontaneous choir. Join a Choir! Choir! Choir! performance with the Canadian musical duo who created it, Daveed Goldman and Nobu Adilman, together with the multi-talented Kostis Maraveyas.
Choir! Choir! Choir!, a dynamic event with thousands of dedicated fans all over the world, is one of the Summer Nostos Festival’s favorite acts. Interactive performances in previous iterations of the festival have helped hundreds of festivalgoers rediscover the joy of song—especially as a group activity with friends and strangers! This year, the choir returns for the third time for the online SNFestival RetroFuture Edition, inviting us all to join in and be uplifted by the shared energy.

Are you ready to share your talent with the world?
Send us your video by June 16 following these simple steps:

1. Download the lyrics of the song “With a Little Help from My Friends” by the Beatles. (Yes, even if you know them by heart!)
2. Choose which part to sing. Part A is a lower part, Part B is a bit higher.
3. Rehearse your part following the instructional video. Then, put on your headphones and record a video of yourself singing while listening to the guide track.
4. Upload the video from your smartphone or computer by following the link provided.

Choir! Choir! Choir! will combine your videos into a unique arrangement of the song, which will premiere at the online SNFestival RetroFuture Edition on Sunday, June 21, between 19:30 and 20:30 Athens time (GMT+3). During the event, which will be hosted live by Giorgos Xatzipavlou and Akis Sakellariou, the festival audience will have the chance to admire a vocal star (you) singing with Daveed, Nobu and Greece’s own Kostis Maraveyas! You’ll also get to see the best of Choir! Choir! Choir! events at past SNFestivals, with interpretations of beloved songs by ABΒΑ, the Βeatles, and Queen.

Send us your video today and be among the first 150 who will be part of the choir!
