, composed by Geoffrey Hudson, is an hour-long oratorio on the subject of climate change. The lyrics blend scientific prose, poetry and sacred texts from many faiths.
Hudson, an American composer, often writes for stringed instruments and has had his work performed across the U.S. and Europe.
The piece is scored for a chorus of mixed voices, a children's chorus, soprano and baritone soloists, and a 12-member instrumental ensemble. It premiered in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA, in June 2012.
CONCORA plans to perform this work to raise awareness of environmental concerns in each of the states of New England. This performance in Waterbury will be the first of this series and is also the first program of the fall season of Concerts on the Green, sponsored by St. John's Episcopal Church in Waterbury. For more information about CONCORA visit www.concora.org
The partners will host an Information Fair immediately following the concert, to be held in the church Auditoium. Representatives from non-profits and local agencies who support water, land, and environmental preservation will be on hand with information on how you can get involved!
