The Family Folk Chorale - Love is the Seventh Wave

The Family Folk Chorale - Love is the Seventh Wave

The Music of Sting and Peter Gabriel

Arlington Town Hall - 730 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA, USA

Two of music’s most iconic songwriters, Sting and Peter Gabriel came to prominence in their respective bands the Police and Genesis in the 1970’s.  They each went on to highly successful solo careers, eventually becoming Rock and Roll hall of fame inductees.  Their music has spoken to generations of music lovers over the past 50 years.

The songs of these two artists reside beautifully side by side in a concert program.  From poignant solo vocalists to big choral chords, a driving rock band, and a kicking brass section these iconic songs will be heard afresh.  FFC Artistic Director Chris Eastburn has crafted a dynamic and satisfying concert program with sweeping energetic arcs and sensitive arrangements for our intergenerational palette of voices, while highlighting the tenderness, fun, and energy in this music.  These incredible songs will be writ large in surround-sound chorus backed by the band, featuring some of the Boston area’s most versatile musicians.  Eastburn adds “This music is sonically expansive and fits naturally on the broad emotional range and canvas of our large intergenerational choir and rock band!”

 Join us at Arlington Town Hall as we (and you and yours) raise our voices in song!
