Cantando durante una pandemia: la disrupción de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la música de los ensambles corales

The confinement was among the measures implemented to contain the pandemic, which resulted in the limitation of co-presential interactions affecting the daily life of social systems such as education, economy, politics and art. The present research seeks to investigate the latter, reflecting on the adaptation of the system to the new conditions imposed by the pandemic disruption, selecting as object of study the case of choral singing ensembles. For this purpose, we conducted a qualitative research through semi-structured interviews with choral ensemble conductors who continued with their musical activities during the pandemic in order to know how the daily life of choral conducting and ensemble singing changed. Among the relevant findings of the research is the use of apps and digital platforms for online rehearsals and the creation of choral-audiovisual works that circulated on social networks such as Facebook and Youtube, examples that allow us to think about the pandemic art.
