Sing for the Cure is a song cycle for chorus and orchestra that shares the experiences of breast cancer patients and survivors. It combines stories, interviews, journals, and letters to express themes of fear, strength, and survival. Composed by ten talented musicians, it incorporates genres from classical to gospel, resulting in 11 movements reflecting the emotional journey of those affected by cancer. This work fosters remembrance and healing, making it more than just a concert, but a community uniting for a cure.
Sing for the Cure is a moving song cycle for mixed SATB chorus and orchestra that weaves together real-life stories from breast cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones. The lyrics are drawn from interviews, journals, and letters, capturing the raw honesty of fear, the quiet strength of perseverance, and the soaring triumph of survival.
Each of the 11 movements tells a story—from diagnosis to treatment, from isolation to resilience—mirroring the emotional landscape of anyone who has faced cancer. There are pieces about the moment one learns of a diagnosis, or how children will live and thrive without a parent.
What sets Sing for the Cure apart is its ability to transcend personal pain and create a shared space for remembrance, solidarity, and healing. The emotional impact is profound and lasting.
