A new reality TV series you’ll be talking about - ‘The Choir’ BBC America
Some of my favorite TV shows start out on British Television and somehow luckily, they make their way to the U.S. And so it is, ‘The Choir,’ set to air on BBC America this week, is just such a show. The premise of this popular U.K. show features a choirmaster, Gareth Malone, as he sets about to bring music back to selected schools and bring a community together through song.

“…bringing people together for a common purpose and singing some of the most beautiful music… I think everyone should have access to that…” - Gareth Malone
The show will air on Wednesdays starting July 7 at 10 PM. The series will run for four episodes.
