Parents, students, faculty and friends are invited to attend a special screening of the Academy Award-winning film, “Close Harmony,” made at Brooklyn Friends School 25 years ago. The screening will take place at Homecoming on Saturday, May 20. Alum parent Nigel Noble’s Oscar® winning documentary chronicles the work of the Intergenerational Chorus (brainchild of music teacher Arlene Symons), bringing together BFS students and seniors from the Council Center for Senior Citizens of the National Council for Jewish Women-Brooklyn Section). This wonderful project brought a combination of joy, friendship, and music into the lives of BFS students and Brooklyn senior citizens.
The film will be screened at 4 pm. (Please call ahead at 718-852-1029, ext. 208 to confirm time.) The Art Show will also be open on Saturday from 3 to 5 pm in the Lower Gym.
