THREE FREE PERFORMANCES!
During the two weekends of school vacation week

Once again, we will be presenting a program of science songs at the 2017 Cambridge Science Festival in April. This year's production will be a series of songs on the theme of weather and climate and covers topics as diverse as rain (including weird weather, like raining frogs!), tornadoes, La Niña and El Niño, the ozone hole (it's getting smaller--yay!), ocean level rise, the original climate change scientists (Fourier, Arrhenius, and Keeling), and the distinctions between weather and climate. For a sample of such a song, watch the "The Ozone Song" ( video of live performance / animation with lyrics ).

Singin' of the Rain will comprise about 20 songs by several contemporary composers, including David Haines, who has been featured prominently in many of our previous Science Festival Choruses, plus Dan Kallman, Bruce Lazarus, and Lauren Mayer; as well as local composers Andrea Gaudette, Ruth Hertzman-Miller, Tim Maurice, first-time locals Molly Ruggles and Stanley Sagov and NCFO's own David Bass! We will also sing a medley of songs composed by Cambridge Public School students under the direction of David Haines, as part of David's CPS Songwriting Workshops. The entire program will include an accompanying slideshow of song lyrics and children's artwork.

Learn more about and listen to/watch this past year's performance of Giants of Science. And here are recordings from our 2015 science chorus, A Little Light Music.
