We're thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented singer and actress Q Smith to The Choir Room Podcast this week! Q shares her inspiring journey from humble church choir beginnings to the glitz and glamour of Broadway, all while staying grounded in her faith and family roots. Join us as we explore the power of singing and the importance of maintaining community within our choirs.
But the conversation doesn't stop there! Q shares how her childhood choir experiences shaped her musical career, the artistry of choir directing, and the gift of singing. We dive into the similarities and differences between church choirs and theater groups, and the importance of community in show choirs. Plus, we discuss the role of faith in Q's life as she navigated the challenges of a performing arts career. Don't miss this heartfelt and inspiring conversation as we celebrate the joy of singing in a choir, and learn from Q Smith's incredible experiences in both church choir and Broadway!
The pandemic has had a significant impact on church choirs, and we take a closer look at the responsibility of choir leadership in maintaining community and culture during these challenging times. Is it the pastor or the choir director who should take the lead in communicating with choir members? How can churches keep the connection alive, especially for those who might feel isolated or forgotten? We also consider the traditional role of choirs in the church and the importance of not elevating them above the congregation.
