Podcasts about Chorus

The Des Moines Gay Men's Chorus sings music with a message. On this episode of Talk of Iowa, we hear from two members as the chorus turns 25 years old. Then, we hear from the founder of 'The Healing Obituary.' She teaches how to write obituaries and makes the case for why they should be done by humans.

This episode of the Bible Explained Podcast delves into Hebrews 13:7-14, where Jenn emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing leaders and their conduct. The way the American church is set up can promote narcissism, with a single leader at the top, but this is not a scriptural system: The Bible calls for a system of shared leadership with checks and balances to ensure that no one leader goes off the rails. Imitate the faith of your leaders, but only if their conduct is in line with Scripture. Elders should be held to high standards, as seen in 1 Timothy and Titus, where specific guidelines are laid out for who can and cannot be an elder. The importance of not being carried away by various and strange teachings, and the need to double-check all theology with Scripture. Christians must separate themselves from the world and its teachings, just as Jesus did when He went outside the camp to suffer for our sins.

British-Nigerian artist, filmmaker, and researcher Onyeka Igwe talks with curator Jeanette Pacher about her project No Archive Can Restore this Chorus of (Diasporic) Shame (2024/26) that lends its title also to her solo show; her interest in sound, especially protest songs, and her love for sacred harp singing, filming in the abandoned Nigerian Film Unit in Lagos, and her iterative practice. Their conversation was recorded on 11 June 2026 at the Secession. Onyeka Igwe No Archive Can Restore this Chorus of (Diasporic) Shame 12.6. – 30.8.2026 In the exhibition, two video works unfold in close relation to one another. The film traces the afterlives of British colonialism in Nigeria through the abandoned site of the former Nigerian Film Unit in Lagos – once a key outpost of the Colonial Film Unit's propaganda apparatus. Today, the building stands in disrepair. The images once housed there are difficult to access – not only due to their material degradation, but also because of a broader reluctance to confront what they contain. Presented on the window front, the moving image blends with the institution's architecture and urban surroundings, situating its sonic and visual field within the specific conditions of its display. More Onyeka Igwe is a London-born & based moving image artist and researcher. Her work is aimed at the question: how do we live together? Not to provide a rigid answer as such, but to pull apart the nuances of mutuality and co-existence in our deeply individualized world. Onyeka's practice figures sensorial, spatial and counter-hegemonic ways of knowing as central to that task. For her, the body, archives and narratives both oral and textual act as a mode of enquiry that makes possible the exposition of overlooked histories. The work comprises untying strands and threads, anchored by a rhythmic editing style, as well as close attention to the dissonance, reflection and amplification that occurs between image and sound. Solo exhibitions include our generous mother, Tate Britain (2025), history is a living weapon in yr hand, Bonington Gallery and Peer, UK (2024), A Repertoire of Protest (No Dance, No Palaver), MoMA PS1, New York (2023), The Miracle on George Green, The High Line, New York, USA (2022), a so-called archive, LUX, London, UK and THE REAL STORY IS WHAT'S IN THAT ROOM, Mercer Union, Toronto, Canada (2021), and Corrections, with Aliya Pabani, Trinity Square Video, Toronto, Canada (2018). Onyeka jointly received the 2025 Film London Jarman Award, was awarded the 2021 Foundwork Artist Prize (2021), Arts Foundation Futures Award for Experimental Short Film (2020) and was the recipient of the Berwick New Cinema Award in 2019. Her video works are screened at film festivals internationally. Jeanette Pacher is a curator at the Vienna Secession since 2007. She is a regular lecturer in the Department of Site-Specific Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, member of the BIG ART advisory board, and from 2023 to 2025, she was jury member of KÖR – Art in Public Space Vienna.

Chorus was born out of the merger of three traditionally structured care organisations in 2017, but today its 1,000 employees work in 20+ self-managing, local teams. Strategic Coach Angela Williamson share this remarkable transformation story and how inner development – and not just structural development – has been key. Chorus began as an experiment asking the question: "What if the people closest to the work were trusted to make most decisions themselves?"

Welcome to IDEA Collider. In this episode, host Dr. Alex Gray, Chief Medical and Innovation Officer at IDEA Pharma, is joined by colleague Jacqueline Poot, President of Strategic Consulting and Analytics, to discuss the intricacies of pharmaceutical portfolio strategy.  This episode has accompanying slides that can be found on YouTube https://youtu.be/DKdy_MShWBA They tackle the growing view that the pharmaceutical industry doesn't just have a science problem; it has an execution problem. Alex breaks down how human biases, such as confirmation bias and champion bias, can derail clinical development and lead to poor portfolio choices. They emphasize that stopping a failing project early is just as critical to an organization's overall success as advancing a good one.  The episode explores successful decision-making frameworks from top-performing companies, analyzing how AstraZeneca's 5Rs framework reversed late-stage failures and examining structured matrices such as Roche's RAVE, Amgen's RAVE, and Pfizer's DICE. Alex also highlights Eli Lilly's highly successful Chorus unit and their use of AI to drive objective resource allocation. Tune in to hear why relying solely on standard Probability of Technical Success (PTS) models or Risk-Adjusted NPV is flawed, how operational issues drive numerous Phase 3 failures, and the incremental but powerful role machine learning will play in the next generation of drug development.

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."

This conversation explores the LDS view of the Fall, sin, atonement, grace, works, assurance, and eternal progression. Mormonism often uses Christian language, but the meanings behind those words are radically different from historic biblical Christianity. Jack and Grayson compare Mormonism's teaching on Adam and Eve, original sin, ordinances, temple rites, baptism for the dead, and exaltation with the biblical gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. At the heart of the episode is a major contrast: Mormonism points man toward self-exaltation, while biblical Christianity points sinners to the finished work of Jesus Christ. Topics include: The Mormon view of the Fall Original sin and human guilt in Adam LDS theology of atonement and Gethsemane Grace, works, and assurance Baptism for the dead Eternal progression and exaltation Why Christ's finished work is the only true hope Connect Website & Blog: www.chorusinthechaos.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chorusinthec...

"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."

"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."

"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."

“I really care a lot about what the student wants to get out of our time together: finding a nice, healthy, balanced phonation that they identify with, that they feel is their true sound, not something I'm forcing them to sound like. More than anything I want my students to feel confident and empowered in making their own voice sound out loud. I just want people to feel joyful and confident participating in the creation of art with their voice.”Mandy Matthews is an active Brooklyn based cross-genre singer and teacher.

Ein gehauchtes «Happy Birthday, Mr. President» wird Ihnen vielleicht in den Sinn kommen, wenn Sie an die Sängerin Marilyn Monroe denken, oder ihre kecke Versicherung, dass Diamanten die besten Freunde seien für ein Mädel. Zum 100. Geburtstag von Marilyn Monroe ein Wiederhören. Marilyn Monroe hat aber mehr zu bieten als uns das kollektive Gedächtnis überliefert. Die Popikone nahm Gesangsunterricht und war eine begeisterte Jazzhörerin. Davon zeugt z.B. das kindlich-laszive Kauderwelsch in «I Wanna Be Loved By You», das eben auch eine Hommage ist an den Scatgesang. Boop-boop-de-boop! An einem ihrer Konzertbesuche freundete sich Marilyn Monroe übrigens mit Ella Fitzgerald an und unterstützte die damals noch aufstrebende Jazzsängerin aktiv im Kampf gegen Rassendiskriminierung. Die beiden Frauen blieben ihr Leben lang befreundet. Welche Qualitäten die Monroe als Sängerin und Performerin hat, ob sie swingen konnte und wie ihr Talent als Komikerin mit einfloss, darüber diskutiert Manfred Papst in der Jazz Collection mit Annina Salis.

Join us for a conversation with Julian Novak, author of Men in the Chorus. Inspired by The Boys in the Band, this play blends fantasy and memoir to explore love, mistakes, and self-discovery in the 1970s. Novak reflects on friendship, survival, and the search for belonging through a story that is part confession, part “what if,” and wholly theatrical. Learn more about your ad choices.
