A Passion for the Planet
About this Event
, composed by Geoffrey Hudson, is an hour-long eco-oratorio with lyrics drawn from 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 performs Hudson's Passion as part of a four-state tour to raise awareness of environmental concerns and showcase solutions across New England. The Waterbury performance is the first program of the fall season of Concerts on the Green, sponsored by St. John's Episcopal Church in Waterbury.

The partners will host an Information and Get-involved Fair immediately following the concert, to be held in the church Auditorium.
Proceeds from this event will support the Pomperaug River Watershed Coalition and its mission to protect the health of the watershed through science, education, advocacy, and community engagement.
