This semester, the FSC Choral Program is focusing on the elemental importance of Fire and Water, with each choir presenting its own interpretation of that theme. These elements can be extremely destructive but can also bring healing and the chance for new life and rebirth. In Fire and Water, Part II, the Concert Choir will explore many different sides of each of these powerful elements through music that spans several centuries, styles and languages. This concert will include Italian madrigals, Canadian folk songs, African American spirituals, Jazz standards, and familiar Musical Theatre hits, encompassing the power of fire, water, the resilience of community, and the joy that comes from new beginnings.

Songs for a New World is, according to composer Jason Robert Brown, “about one moment. It’s about hitting the wall and having to make a choice, or take a stand, or turn around and go back.”

With a rousing score that blends elements of pop, gospel and jazz, featuring tight harmonies and darling vocals, Songs for a New World transports its audience from the deck of a spanish sailing ship bound for a new land, to the ledge of a New York penthouse. Characters range from a young man in the Bronx who dreams of becoming a famous basketball player, to a forlorn and neglected Mrs. Claus lamenting as Christmas approaches.
