A Great Big World & PS22 Chorus are ROCKSTARS!

After turning out a magnificent cover of the brilliant song, "Say Something," the kids of PS22 Chorus were treated to a visit from the fantastic gentlemen of A Great Big World! The two groups joined forces for a couple of smashing performances, starting with a powerful version of the aforementioned hit originally performed with Christina Aguilera! Chorus member Alyssa gave her seat to band member Chad Vaccarino and shared the piano bench and soloing duties with Ian Axel and did a knock-out job! Then the adrenalin kicked in for an unbelievable version of "Rockstar" that featured some seriously cool three and four part harmonies! After we did the two songs we planned, the guys taught the chorus a part for their song, "I Really Want It!" AND we also had a fun impromptu jam with Ian on our friends' The Mowgli's song, "San Francisco!"  Check out all four of the amazing performances below!!

Wonderful to see the great response the videos have gotten from the likes of The Huffington Post, Perez Hilton, PopCrush, VH1, and even MTV Buzzworthy! Our "Say Something" video was #1 of the Top 10 entertainment news pieces on the televised Showbiz Tonight! We leave you with some fantastic pics courtesy of Mrs. Johnson and Ms. Lisa (our videographer)! More pics can be found on our Facebook page!

Ithacappella 2014!

Yesterday, PS22 Chorus had its annual visit from Ithacappella, our "big bros" from Ithaca College! As expected, it was a wonderful afternoon of music, mutual appreciation and inspiration! But the collaborations this year were better than ever! Case and point, check out this brilliant rendition of "Counting Stars" by OneRepublic and a special version of "Wake Me Up" by Avicii! Special props to the soloists -- on Counting Stars Ithacappella's Dave Allan, PS22 Chorus member Christopher, and our fourth grade guest Sierra! And on "Wake Me Up," soloists are Ithacappella's Ryan Kennedy and PS22's Juan!

The SINGING Dead ft. Emily Kinney!!!

Such a thrill to have the opportunity to make music with Emily Kinney, aka "Beth" from The Walking Dead! We adore her character on the show, her voice, her new EP EXPIRED LOVE, and most impressively her down-to-earth good nature! One of our favorite visitors ever for sure -- so much fun "talking dead" with her!! Didn't realize there were so many Walking Dead fans in the PS22 Chorus!! Check out an absolutely chilling rendition of "Hold On" (by Tom Waits) and then her appropriately titled song, "Masterpiece."

Check out more fantastic photos of Emily with PS22 Chorus courtesy of Mrs. Johnson! (More on our Facebook page!)

Wrecking Ball!

Prepare to be pulverized as the PS22 Chorus kids present their unique take on "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus! The video features an absolutely breathtaking solo from ridiculously talented chorus member Tylia! She and the chorus give everything they've got, and in doing so, make this performance a real knock out... literally!!

UPDATE (12-4-13): The kids got some smashing praise from our best bud, Perez Hilton, for their latest cover! Screencap below!

The Mowgli's!!

The Mowgli's demonstrate why they're one of the best new bands out there as they mix it up with the PS22 Chorus on these deliciously raucous live acoustic renditions of "Say It, Just Say It" and "San Francisco!" We were honored to be visited by such an inspiring group of people with such infectious positivity in their music and otherwise!!

Gavin DeGraw & PS22 Chorus Make A Move!

On Wednesday, Gavin DeGraw visited PS22 to perform two of his songs with the kids!

But don't take our word for it -- see it here for yourself in the videos below featuring two performances ("Make A Move" and "I Don't Want To Be") as well as a fun and insightful interview with the kids of PS22 Chorus of 2014.
