UA Symphonic Choir is hosting some of its College of Fine Arts colleagues and telling the stories of two Middle East war refugees in 'War and Peace.'
Arizona Daily Star UA Symphonic Choir is teaming up with the University of Arizona School of Theatre, Film and Television and the Fred Fox School of Music’s Treble Glee ensemble for “War and Peace,” a compelling concert that explores the themes of war and peace.
“I’m so grateful for the two incredible women who responded to an invitation to share their stories as war refugees from Syria and Afghanistan,” UA Choral Activities Director Elizabeth Schauer said in a written release. “They are a beautiful part of the fabric of our Tucson community, and their voices have been a powerful part of our preparation for this concert, stirring us to compassion, understanding and action for people throughout the world who suffer as a result of wars.
The performance includes original choreography by UA School of Theatre, Film and Television Professor Brent Gibbs, who teaches acting and stage combat, and several UA students. Doctoral student conductors Inho Eom and Jordan Shomper also will get a shot behind the podium and Treble Glee, conducted by Mengda Jiang, will join voices with the Symphonic Choir for the concert finale.
