A choir is a group of singers who perform together, usually led by a conductor. Choirs can vary in size, from small ensembles to large groups, and they often sing in harmony, with different voice parts such as soprano, alto, tenor, and bass.

合唱团, 教堂唱诗区
an area in a church that is occasionally occupied by a group of singers performing together while religious ceremonies are held
A choir is a designated area within a church where singers and musicians perform during services. It is often located near the altar or at the front of the church, allowing the choir to be seen and heard clearly by the audience. The choir may include seating for the singers, often in a raised section, which helps to project their voices. This space is usually designed with good acoustics to enhance the sound of the music and singing. The choir plays an important role in the worship experience, contributing to the overall atmosphere and spiritual expression during services.
