Can we sing remotely together? Based on the ethnography of Chantons Ensemble, a non-professional choir with a world music repertoire, this article focuses on the functions and limitations of the digital leap by this musical practice and collective. Developed in a socio-cultural centre in the city of Antony, influenced by local policies and Cité de la musique – Philharmonie de Paris, this project is led by a choral conductor and has between 7 and 20 adult beginners from 30 to 70 years of age participating. Due to pandemic and distancing restrictions, relationships and music practices have been organized for nearly two years using a messaging app/social media and a videoconference tool. Within this altered framework for participation, choristers have proven their creativity. Togetherness, friendliness, and community have taken new forms. Socio-technical changes have tested the capacity to interact, with the impossibility of senses, voices, and gestures co-existing in a physical space. The limits experienced in terms of action and sensitivity have led the choristers to question their capacity and participation. Some have gradually drifted away from the activity, while others have resigned.
