What's the Worlds Largest Choir?

I’ve been going to a few Christmas choir concerts over the last couple of days, which is always quite enjoyable and soothing. And it’s pretty much the only time I go to church.

But it got me thinking about what the Worlds Largest Choir might be? And then I don’t mean several thousand people in a field singing along (like this) or a gathering of 50 regular Choirs to perform for the Pope or President.

Those are all Google will give me :frowning:

So, what could be the worlds largest regularly performing Choir?

Anyone have any ideas?

There are 360 members in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I don’t know if it’s the largest, but I imagine they’re up there near the top of the list.

Nifty! Thank you.

Maybe some national army choir is larger? Maybe the *North Korea’s Glorious Leader’s Army’s Choir *, or whatever it would be called?

I can’t find any info on that though :frowning:

If I don’t lay off the Chocolate Trinity ice cream, my choir is going to become the largest, at least in terms of sheer tonnage.

There’s the choir that’s composed of about 1,000 idiots who eat fruit and drink diet soda.

The Moron Tab & Apple Choir.

Only 360, if you check the first answer.

Uhhhh…it was just a joke.

Which I tried to pull down to earth, since it wasn’t funny.

Damn, it’s really hard to make things come out right online.
But doesn’t anyone have any serious answers?

The People’s Republic of China.

It is hard to get large groups together for rehearsals & such, have places for them to perform, etc. I once sang with what was termed a “college of choirs” where altogether we were 750 voices. We only sang as that large a group twice a year and as smaller groups on a more regular basis.

I’ll count that, as it was a continous group over a long time.

750 people is cool! Do you have any linkys that I can check out?

12

It’s probably pushing the boundaries of the “regularly performing” definition, but our ChorusOz gets together, rehearses and performs a major work on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in June each year. There are about 1000 choristers.

13

Unfortunately, no. :frowning:

So, now it’s either ChorusOZ (if we count once per year) or the College of Choirs if we count several times a year.

Either way, it’s way cool with so many people singing!
