We plan to build a community chorus in Puerto Ayora. Our intention is to involve as many adults as possible so we may extend our artistic and musical service to the whole community. Our goals for creating such a group are manifold. We believe that choir singing entails not only musical enjoyment, but also influences both psychological and physical wellbeing.
At the purely health level, choir singing sustains a healthy immune system -reduces cortisol, boosts immunoglobulin. As a social tool, it strengthens feelings of togetherness, enhances social interaction and boosts nurture empathy: singing can connect people who might have never crossed similar paths.
Choir rehearsals provoke welcomed mental stimulus, relieves stress, and reduces depression, as it broadens its members' social network. It is a cohesive force to stimulate social interaction, an unmatched experience of music experience that needs a small set of musical abilities, but it provides pleasure, enjoyment, and a great artistic experience.
