It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for a choir to perform with Barbra Streisand and that opportunity came to FireChoir in 2013.
Live Nation Entertainment contacted FireChoir to sing with Ms. Streisand at the Amsterdam concerts of the ‘Barbra Live’ European tour. One choir for each of the six cities of her tour were needed. Choirs were chosen for their quality, their diverse ethnic representation and their size (a 70 voice choir was required).
FireChoir sang the finale medley with Ms. Streisand: Make Our Garden Grow and Somewhere (Bernstein & Sondheim)
