The choral singer’s app
Welcome to the first extensive iPad app for choral singers!
Singing in choirs has never been more popular. From all-inclusive non-audition groups to top-notch ensembles, the world of choral singing is thriving.
Naxos, with its wealth of acclaimed classical recordings and its proven expertise in creating first-class music apps, has produced ‘LoveChoir’. With a wide range of contents from a team of contributors, it is an engaging, lively and comprehensive app to support all choral singers
outside rehearsals.
"I can say with absolute conviction that this app is invaluable for any singer who ever gets together with others to make music."
– David Temple, conductor
