This was a very emotional experience for me. Watch it and weep! It is ethereal.

In September last year, Eric invited his online fans to participate in an ambitious attempt to create the world's largest virtual choir.

Featuring 2052 performances from singers in 58 countries, the Virtual Choir 2.0 - singing Whitacre's "Sleep" - is the largest assembled online in history, and far surpasses Whitacre's original goal of 900 voices.
