Franklin

Immerse your choir and the audience in “Franklin,” a powerful fusion of choral and orchestral brilliance. The composer/librettist, Z. Randall Stroope, delivers an array of emotion, drama, and inspiration on one of the most imaginative and influential humans in history - Benjamin Franklin. The Carnegie Hall premier was an amazing demonstration of the intensely engaging impact of the work, with the audience applauding vigorously throughout in a celebration of freedom and liberty for humankind across the globe. While appropriate for the 250th anniversary of the American nation, this work has a much more broad appeal to fit a myriad of concert themes and circumstances where family and peaceful co-existence of culture and creed are celebrated. Strong upper-level secondary school choirs and community and university ensembles will assimilate this work quickly and make it an “artistic centerpiece” of their season programming.
