For the thirteenth consecutive year, North Cambridge Family Opera presented a program of science songs at the Cambridge Science Festival (April 12-21 2019). This year's production celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. We presented a program of twenty songs about the history, challenges, and potential destinations of space travel, including songs by eleven contemporary composers about animals in space, the exploration of Mars, and what happens as you approach the speed of light. We also sang a medley of songs composed by Cambridge Public School students under the direction of David Haines and Andrea Gaudette, as part of their CPS Songwriting Workshops. The entire program included an accompanying slideshow of song lyrics and children's artwork.

And listen to/watch our 2017 performance of Singin' of the Rain and our 2016 performance of Giants of Science.
