Singing America: A Celebration of The Great American Songbook
Fairfield County Children's Choir,
Jon Noyes, Music Director and Founder, will present its spring concert,
"Singing America: A Celebration of the Great American Songbook" on
Saturday, May 10 at 7pm at Fairfield Warde High School Auditorium in Fairfield,
Ct.
With their program the 300 young
choristers will demonstrate and celebrate the positive power of this body
of uniquely American songs. The composers who gave rise to what has become
known as the Great American Songbook translated positive values and an
optimistic spirit into the soundtrack of American life. Their songs offered
hope of better days during the Great Depression, built morale during two world
wars, and helped build social bridges within our culture.
