Choir Directors
Thanks for your interest! We are looking to work with a small number of musical and choir directors who want to make a unique impact in the development of Esther, an up-and-coming musical.
Are you interested in “workshopping” the music with your choir and providing more direct feedback to the Esther music team? If so, please let us know. There is no fee to participate, and no licensing fees for the music. We will provide sheet music and audio files for each part (and a director’s score), and we ask only that you provide feedback, and a video recording of a performance. And of course, after participating in Sing With Esther, you can add the songs to your repertoire.
We know that many choirs are working virtually, while others are beginning to get together live. It’s a new environment, and we hope that Sing with Esther will provide you and your choir a unique opportunity to make a difference… and have some fun. (In fact, some of your choir members may have already signed up to Sing with Esther as individuals.)
Note: If you have ALREADY SIGNED UP and have been accepted into the program, please log in here.

Why Sing with Esther?
Have fun singing
More than anything else, we LOVE to sing! And singing original music before it’s on stage is pretty cool.
Make an impact
Your feedback (and your choir’s singing) will be used to fine-tune the final music and words. Your personal input matters!
Be part of something big
We’ll be creating a hall-of-fame gallery with your performance, and the performance of the other choirs.
Listen to others
How do others interpret the same music? What can you learn from them… and what can they learn from you?
Get Esther swag
All choir directors get some cool swag as a thank you for participating. (We’ll also send some digital swag for your choir.)
Be part of history
Every choir director (and their choir) will be memorialized on the original Musical Esther website.
Two great songs – with or without vocal percussion
Corner Block (SATB): Intro to the musical, ballad with a funk-hip bridge.
Finale (SSAATTB): Multi-layered mash-up of key songs from the musical; a bit more challenging.

About Esther the Musical
The story itself has a long pedigree: like Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, the Esther story is 2500 years old. Esther the Musical is set in the present day, and like our diverse society, has a diverse musical style: from funk, to rap, rock, and fusion. Its message is timeless, and resonates in today’s world of #metoo, corporate greed, social justice, and the freedom to think for yourself.
