Disney+’s ‘Choir’ shows the journey to center stage in the official trailer for Detroit Youth Choir docuseries
The six-episode show will premiere on the streaming platform on Wednesday, Jan. 31.
Disney+ released the official trailer for the inspirational six-part “Choir,” which highlights the exhilarating journey to a once-in-a-lifetime performance for the Detroit Youth Choir.
The docuseries will follow the 8- through 18-year-old members of the youth group as they prepare to take center stage at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Viewers will get behind-the-scenes footage of the young singers navigating student life while pursuing their dreams as performers.
“The amount of dedication it takes to be in DYC is on the same level as a high school athlete,” Anthony White, Detroit Youth Choir director, says. “Hell or high water, I want to be able to take these kids to the next big stage.”
Various choir members deliver emotional testimonies expressing the hard work, dedication and endless amounts of practice required to keep their spots in the group as they speak about their experience in the spotlight.
White appears in the trailer during the most crucial moments and is shown holding auditions, encouraging members and finding the next opportunity to take the Detroit Youth Choir to another level. The clip also shows the challenges members faced while competing to be one of the 50 singers chosen to perform on one of the world’s biggest stages.
Since appearing and winning second place on “America’s Got Talent” in 2019, the youth group has recorded new music and released an album. The singers returned to the “AGT” stage in 2023 for the all-star edition and showcased their remarkable talent that stole the hearts of audiences on the NBC show.
