After two years of weathering the Covid storm, Womansong is rising up to share our songs in our fall concert, “Rise Up!”
The concert features uplifting music to share our empowerment, inspiration, and the joy of community.
It features premiere performances of two brand new songs by our own Lytingale and by Martha Burrows, along with old favorites and inspiring pieces written to celebrate the power of women. From choral anthems to contemporary pop tunes, there’s something for everyone -- music to make you laugh, cry, and dance. We’ll even have some “sign-alongs.” (No, that’s not a typo!)

Lytingale, Georgia Pressman, Jane Snyder will accompany the choir on piano, flute, and a variety of percussion instruments. And for this concert, we welcome 10 new singers to our village. (Come sing with us !)
Womansong celebrates the unity, diversity, and empowerment of women through musical expression, as we sing for Joy, social justice, and community. Our concerts help fund the operation of our nonprofit organization including the choir’s New Start Program, which provides scholarships and emergency funds to local women in need. |
Womansong concerts are accessible to the hearing impaired through music sign language interpretation by Shiner Antiorio.
