A Note from Our Director
A Note from Our Director
Jason Robert Brown has created a song cycle in Songs for a New World that takes us on a journey from yesterday to today and into tomorrow. He guides us through stories of faith, hope, and dreams in the context of youth’s energy and resilience. Simultaneously, he displays our struggles, vulnerabilities, and life’s uncertainties and weaves their ability to strengthen and mold us into the complicated humans we’ve become – complete with the baggage we carry from our yesterdays and the weight of our current responsibilities. Yet, Brown recognizes that it’s never too late to dream of a better life, to surrender to the strangeness and risks of something new: a fresh start that brings the hope of reconciliation, renewal, and resurrection. The universal message of each moment…each story…each confession…has the potential to envelop us with an overwhelming sense of freedom – and gratitude. These songs ache for us to have the courage to take control of our individual destiny and see our own new world through better days ahead.
