Community Involvement

Select members of Central Florida Community Choir volunteered their time and joined with hundreds of community members to reflect on September 11 during "Celebrations of Peace" sponsored by Christ Church Unity.  This family-friendly annual event, held this year on Sept. 10 at Lake Eola, included inspirational speakers, vocalists and theatrical reenactments, combined with a community walk around this downtown Orlando lake, all geared toward a positive message of recognizing our unity and celebrating peace everywhere.

Central Florida Community Choir performed four songs: Golden Dream, made famous by Disney's "Voices of Liberty", Give Me Your Tired, based on the famous Statue of Liberty poem, Seasons of Love from "Rent", and finally closing Celebrations of Peace with a Beatles Medley that inspired the audience to sing along before giving a standing ovation!

Dance Auditions

Dancers are needed for the Central Florida Community Choir and Orchestra's Christmas production. CFCA is a not-for-profit community group featuring a 150 voice choir and a 30 piece orchestra performing "Joy to the World", a celebration of holidays around the world.

 

Male and Female dancers, ages 16 and up, are needed to perform dance styles including jazz, Irish, African and contemporary dance.

• Offer scholarships to struggling artists who would otherwise be unable to join our choir
• Prepare and perform inspirational programs for local nonprofit organizations including, United Global Outreach, Coalition for the Homeless, and the Central Florida Children's Home Society, just to name a few.

Epcot Candlelight Processional

The response has been incredible! Central Florida Community Choir is planning to perform at Epcot's memorable Candlelight Processional during the 2011 Christmas season, and once we invited community members to join us, new applications started arriving daily!

In September more than 170 singers gathered to rehearse two arrangements and produce our audition video for Disney casting directors to review. We anticipate Disney will offer CFCC more than one opportunity to perform this season.

In next month's newsletter, we will announce our performance dates.  Come hear us sing!
