"Choir! Choir! Choir! has grown into a national phenomenon by tapping into a need that people share—and have few opportunities to actually do—joining together, opening their hearts, and raising their voices in song. "

Choir! Choir! Choir! has amassed a passionate community of singers and a thriving international fan base on YouTube, with tens of millions of views on some of their videos. The Toronto-based singing group led by creative directors Nobu Adilman and Daveed Goldman takes a non-traditional approach—there are no auditions, and the audience is the choir. Equal parts singing, comedy, and community-building, the night unfolds like a dream: everyone shows up, learns an original arrangement to a popular song, and goes home feeling great.

The duo has performed in holes, on hills, and on big stages at Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Massey Hall, the Juno Awards, Joe’s Pub, Art Gallery of Ontario, Parliament Hill in Ottawa, National Arts Centre, Luminato Festival, at TEDx Toronto, the Polaris Music Prize Gala, and many more. They’ve also been joined by guest singers such as David Byrne, Patti Smith, Rufus Wainwright, Rick Astley, Tegan and Sara, Bruce Cockburn, Kathleen Edwards, Colin Hay (Men at Work), Joel Plaskett, Sarah Harmer, and Chris Murphy (Sloan).

Nobu Adilman and Daveed Goldman, the men who make up the duo Choir! Choir! Choir!, sit on an olive green couch in front of a bay window in a living room. They both sing, while one man plays an acoustic guitar. Another acoustic guitar is propped up in a corner behind a floor lamp. In front of the men is a small round glass and metal coffee table and a black egg chair. In the foreground, out of focus, is a black upright piano.
