Description

In “Change Is Gonna Come”, the Clermont Chorale will be presenting music meant to inspire us to bring about change. It is no secret that the arts have always been a catalyst for change in our society. Music, in particular, has often expressed the feelings and beliefs of those who wish to see a positive change in the world, and how we live and move within that world. In “Change Is Gonna Come”, the Clermont Chorale will be presenting music from that tradition: music meant to inspire us to bring about change. We begin with the anthem of change from 1965, originally performed by Sam Cooke, and the “title cut” of the concert. From there, we begin a journey through our experiences as we recognize the problems that we face (Eleanor Rigby), how we confront ourselves in an effort to come to grips with the situation (Take Down These Walls, Hope), how we come together as a broader society to make a difference (Make Them Hear You) and finally some inspiration and encouragement to go out and make it happen (Meet Me Here). Truly, when the concert is over, you will feel like you can Stand Up and Make a Change. We encourage our singers and our audience members to find something in the music of this concert that they can take with them when they leave, and can put into action the changes they want to see in the world.
