A Breathless Choir | Presented by Philips

After the curtain rose, a young woman sang the first line of Sting’s “Every Breath You Take” in a slow but powerful voice. Two more soloists followed, and then an entire chorus of 18 people filled the historic auditorium with a rich, commanding sound. This was no ordinary choir. Each of the singers has a chronic respiratory disease that years ago would likely have limited their activities. On this September night, the choir members — many of whom had never sung in public — not only found the courage, but also the strength of breath they needed to perform.
