The Connecticut
Choral Society (CCS) will be presenting a benefit concert, For the Children, on
behalf of the Family and Children’s Aid Guidance Center of Danbury on Saturday,
June 21st, 7:00 pm at the First Congregational Church (164 Deer Hill Avenue, Danbury).
The concert
will feature Faure’s Requiem and selected pieces of hope and comfort. CCS will
be joined by the Swift Celebration Children's Choir, and award-winning composer
and pianist Max Vladimiroff. The program will conclude with “Hope for Resolution,”
an inspirational tribute to the resilience of Nelson Mandela. The piece is a
juxtaposition of a classic European chant overlapped with a traditional Swahili
melody supported by a lively conga drum line.

About the
Connecticut Choral Society: CCS, established in 1980, was recently named by
WTIC as one of the top five choral ensembles in the state. The 75-member
auditioned chorus has appeared at Carnegie Hall and has toured in Eastern
Europe, Canada, England, China, and Australia. In June they will be presenting
concerts in France in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Normandy
invasion.
About the FCA
Guidance Center: FCA serves the city of Danbury and several towns as far east
as Waterbury with free counseling, guidance, and group homes. Founded in 1809,
the agency has been a refuge for abused and neglected children who are without
protection, without parental support, and without hope. More than just offering
food and clothing, FCA strives to heal and support Connecticut's children and
families. Their clinical staff was first on scene at the firehouse following
the Sandy Hook shooting.
