fujit - a chamber choir

Fujit awakes?

joshandchelsea — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 16:03:01 +0000

OK, folks. . .
After a couple of recent disappointments in the ‘auditioning-for-a-regular-job’ world, I may have a bit more time to rev Fujit back up. So what do you want to hear? I’m still very much up for Josquin. And Bach, and Mendelssohn. I think the next iteration of Fujit will have to be low-budget but, heck, why not give it a shot?

Tell me what you think.

Fujit sleeps!

Friends,
Due to a lack of time and paucity of funds, Fujit is going to sleep for a little while. We will return after hibernation for another series of concerts featuring Josquin, Bach, Mendelssohn, and Rorem!

Stay tuned. . .

Considering options. . .

Hi folks. . .
just considering options for a return to concert life – economic issues have sidelined fujit for a while. More to come! And more music!!!

Help create a new work!!!

Many thanks to all who came. Great concert, great crowds. Now: should we do the next one in February, or June? We have a lovely commission to get us started for a St. Cyril concert; what else?

Concerts

joshandchelsea — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:14:02 +0000

Concerts should be beautiful entertainments. We are musicians hoping to contribute beauty to the world, and to make someone’s day better for hearing us sing. We are not high priests of CVLTVRE but people who enjoy making wonderful things happen.

That said, please come hear us! November 14, 7 PM, Newburyport, MA, at the First Religious Society. November 15, 3PM, Church of Our Saviour, Brookline, MA.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Lobet den Herrn
Antoine Busnoys’ Missa L’homme Armé
Ralph Vaughan Williams Mass in G minor
Heitor Villa-Lobos Bendita Sabedoria

…maybe in that order.

Admission is by suggested donations:
$20 adult
$15 student/senior
$10 starving artists
$50 families

I made it to the bank. Therefore… cheques may be made out to Joshua Slater, or to Fujit.
