A chorus of 4th and 5th graders at the Brooklyn Friends School and a chorus of elderly retirees at a Brooklyn Jewish seniors’ center combine to give an annual joint concert. Practicing separately for several months while communicating only as pen pals, they eventually meet for a rehearsal prior to their concert. The children’s ideas about older people, as well as the seniors’ approach to aging and their young co-performers, will capture your heart.
Nigel Noble is an Academy Award-winning producer/director of films and television. Close Harmony received an Oscar in 1982.
