October 26, 2013 Lori Acken

UPDATE: USA Network has postponed It Takes a Choir until 2014. “I think there’s a raw power when you hear a group of people singing as one,” says British choirmaster Gareth Malone. “And if you’re in the same room as them, then it’s absolutely thrilling.” He should know.
