Greetings! As we celebrate our 25 th Anniversary season, I have been thinking back on the thousands of young people whose lives have been enriched through their participation in “a musical experience which is challenging, rewarding and enjoyable.” Considering the fact that some of our current members still await their ninth birthday, and our original members are just reaching their fortieth, we have truly reached multiple generations! I recently spoke with Lauren Bagley Noonan who was a member in the early years of the choir and is now a teacher in the Fairfield Public Schools. She told me that “the FCCC was the best thing she did” in her youth and she inquired about having her own young children join the choir soon! (Please see more from Lauren in her letter below.)
 
This quarter-century milestone is a testament to the quality and strength of the FCCC program, and the music staff and Board members who have worked tirelessly to achieve our Mission. But we wouldn’t be where we are if it were not for the talented and enthusiastic young people who arrive at Fairfield Woods Middle School for each rehearsal, sometimes tired or otherwise preoccupied, and leave rejuvenated and happy! Our sincere thanks to the parents who support their children and the choir in so many ways.
 
Please be sure to read below about the exciting concert season that approaches. Our talented choristers have already been involved in three performances. We performed the National Anthem on October 19 for the Home Opener of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. On November 2 the Chamber Singers performed at a gala fundraiser for the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford which raised $1.493 million! On November 22 the FCCC Chorale performed for STARLIGHT: ENCHANTMENT IN THE WISHING FOREST, a Winter Festival corporate event at the SoNo Collection – the new shopping mall in South Norwalk. 
 
December is now just around the corner and the FCCC is preparing for a busy winter season with seven performances over fourteen days in December!! We hope you will be able to join us for many of these wonderful events.
 
Please keep in mind our big celebration when we hold our 25 th annual Spring Concert on May 16, 2020 at Carnegie Hall! Tickets will go on sale to the public in late February. We hope to fill the hall!
 
Best wishes for a happy holiday season,
