Hope Haitian Choir
August 17, 2018, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Free
You are invited to be a part of this special experience as the Hope Haitian Choir travels our country, knowing that it will prove to be a blessing to you!
The Hope Haitian Choir is coming to Fairfield to perform on Friday, August 17, 2018. This non-traditional choir is made up of fifteen young people, ranging in age from 7 – 17. They are touring the eastern U.S. this summer, sharing their joy in a variety of venues and churches.
The Choir began six years ago, with a new group of children coming each summer. Their exceptional voices combined with energized dancing effectively communicate a message of hope. Though many of these young people come from very difficult circumstances in their home country of Haiti, they demonstrate a buoyant spirit which finds its source in their genuine faith.
Under the direction of Barb House of Boothbay, Maine, the choir has sung at Christian conventions in Haiti, on radio and television stations, at the Rotunda in the Capitol Building in Washington D.C., at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey, and a variety of both indoor and outside venues.
There is no fee, but an offering will be taken to help with choir costs as well as fund projects in Haiti.
The performance will be outside, at the Fairfield's Veterans Memorial Park (62 High St, Fairfield) but in case of rain, the event will be held inside the Fairfield United Methodist Church at 37 Skowhegan Rd, Fairfield (near the Purple Cow).
