    The FCC Concert Series is presenting the 125-voice Resonance Women’s Chorus from Boulder. The ensemble will perform Robert Seeley’s powerful BraveSouls and Dreamers, a contemporary anti-war piece, with text adapted from and inspired by words of some of the world’s great peacemakers and visionaries. A free will offering will be taken.
    “BraveSouls and Dreamers is a profoundly beautiful work, a powerful and cathartic musical offering,” said artistic director Sue Coffee. The text is adapted from and inspired by words of some of the word’s great peacemakers and visionaries, including Jesus Christ, the Dalai Lama, Mother Theresa, and Jimmy Carter. “Composer Robert Seeley’s music is tonal, accessible, and beautifully crafted. It is easy to listen to and extremely effective at conveying deeply emotional messages.”
    There is a short but potent narrative line in the piece. Two opposing soldiers experience the disorientation and terror of combat, and encounter each other on the battlefield. A mother deals with the grief of losing her son, and works her way through a path of forgiveness. Throughout, a sage offers words of simple wisdom and spiritual truth, and the chorus offers a witness to the emotional journey of the piece.
