Members of the Phoenix Boys Choir and their parents erupted in cheers at Sunday’s watch party. That’s the moment they learned they helped take home the Grammy for Best Video Game Soundtrack for Sword of the Sea.
The boys spent two years working on this soundtrack along with composer Austin Wintory.
PCB’s Artistic Director Herbert Washington says a win like this can change the trajectory of a boy’s life, "Meaning that they can be proud forever to put their name and associate their name with a Grammy Grammy win and this project. And these are the things that they place on, you know, college applications, resumes."
Washington says Wintory takes home the physical Grammy, while the boys will receive a participation certificate. The Phoenix Boys Choir is the only youth organization to win two Grammys — which also comes with bragging rights.
