Micro SF/F by O. Westin

After the concert, the alien ambassador asked to meet the conductor.

"Such harmonies! This entity is aware of Humanity's warfilled history, but hearing a choir work together like this makes it hard to believe you can also hate."

"Had you been at rehearsals, you would believe."

@MicroSFF I don’t know much scifi at all but this makes me think of Lektrowsky’s Will by Max Mathews. https://journals.qucosa.de/array/article/view/2469

@AlexSeanchai @MicroSFF While not a vocalist by hobby, I can confirm that the instrument-wielders are also equally as prone to marvelous harmony and vicious fighting while they work toward achieving those harmonies. The visitors will be equally charmed by the symphony and the chamber as the choir or the opera.

@MicroSFF Our choir rehearsals are 60% work and 40% fun .... and a heap of good interpersonal stuff in the breaks, as the choristers are _very_ accepting of people who are weird...
The only thing that all have in common is a desire to make a lovely sound, and the determination to put in the work to get there.
