But I don't know anything about tapes or digitisation or anything like that. I don't even know how I would play this. I don't even know if it's still in good enough condition to play. So my question is... How? How do I take these two tapes, this two part performance, and make the choir live again?

There's an extra hazard here, which is this is the size that a lot of org services like HR platforms, payroll management, document storage ect, run out of free seats and you have cough up or scrambled to move to something else

The worst part about this is that most of these organisations were working from paycheck to paycheck. Even a short interruption in funding would have shuttered most of them permanently and broken the relationships needed to rebuild them.
