Womansong, Asheville’s longest-running women’s community chorus, invites you to our fall concert, “Rise Up!”
at the    
Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Asheville, One Edwin Place, Asheville 28801

Our fall concert, under the direction of our new Artistic Director, Allison Thorpe, who is also the Director of Choral Activities and Associate Professor of Music at Western Carolina University, will focus on songs about the strength of women, individually and collectively, to address social justice issues and build community. 

This show    includes  songs by our own Lytingale   and Martha Burrows,  along with favorites by The Righteous Mothers, Kacey Musgraves, Rosephanye Powell, and the Wailin’ Jennys.   
These    inspiring pieces all 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. 

After Saturday’s performance, you will have the opportunity to meet Allison at a post-concert reception.

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.
