![]() Womansong's new Artistic Director:
Dr. Allison Thorp “I am very excited to be a part of this choral community!” says Allison. "I was impressed on every level from the musical performance videos to the group’s commitment to service in the community.... I see women’s choruses as a place... to be renewed, to meet kindred spirits, to be seen and to not be invisible. We put beautiful energy out into the world through our music, but also take it home within ourselves...". An advocate for “choral activism,” Allison will enhance Womansong by encouraging voices of diverse communities through our repertoire. She wants to spread joy through music...” Allison loves the support and care found in the Womansong Village. “I think it’s important to nurture that element of human connection—it’s good for our minds, our bodies, and our music.” Allison shares, “I couldn’t be more thrilled to begin my musical journey with Womansong!” Allison’s first Womansong Concert will take place this fall. Read all about her! Womansong is growing....
