New Delhi: The musical documentary series Choir will be available on Disney Plus Hotstar soon. The six-episode documentary series is set to premiere on January 31, 2024. The inspiring presentation, which Rudy Valdez (a two-time Emmy nominee) directed, gives viewers a glimpse inside the crew’s inner workings and the effort and commitment of its younger members.

Four more days until CHOIR drops on Disney+. Literally worked on this project for a full year and half as a production assistant. Usually the only one, due to how small our crew was (3-7 people usually). Happy to have been on something this impactful for my city and thankful to… pic.twitter.com/hd6rc1Pa9u

Trailer
The trailer for this uplifting and melodic documentary series premiered on January 8, 2024, and it was created by Blumhouse Television and Imagine Documentaries.
Looking at the trailer, it seems like Choir is about the youngsters from Detroit Youth Choir getting ready to do a once-in-a-lifetime concert. In an unprecedented effort to secure a spot among the fifty members granted the opportunity to go to Carnegie Hall for a performance, each member is pushing themselves to their limits.
Carnegie Hall is called the “Superbowl” of artists in the trailer. Getting to one of the world’s largest stages takes a lifetime for artists. They finished second on America’s Got Talent in 2019 and performed well on the all-star version in 2023. Detroit Youth Choir produced an album of new songs.
The trailer shows how the young members really had to fight for a chance to be on the famous stage, and how much they sacrificed for that chance. Their efforts and devotion are on par with high school athletes, according to a brave account of never-ending sessions, hard training, and injuries.
The band members, led by the stern yet kind director Anthony White—who makes appearances in the video at key points—strive to produce music, train vocalists, and realise their aspirations one step at a time. With a challenging yet ultimately touching concept, Choir seems like a breath of new air in the documentary genre.
