our Mother Earth.

​

Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Asheville

Asheville, NC  28801

Our spring theme is   Love Your Mother (Earth)! 
​The beginning of our program will highlight music that expresses love for the earth in our hearts - appreciation, reflection, connection, joy.  The second half will feature music that expresses our love for the earth in action - doing, moving, making change. ​

Womansong, Asheville’s longest-running women’s community chorus, invites   you   to our spring concert, “Love Your Mother Earth”
at the    
Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Asheville, One Edwin Place, Asheville 28801
Our spring concert, under the direction of  Artistic Director Dr. Allison Thorpe, along with Assistant Director Claire Lemke and  former Director Althea Gonzalez, will focus on songs celebrating and caring for  Mother Earth.

This show    includes  songs by   Joni Mitchell, Elise Witt,  Carrie Newcomer, Vida,   and many others.  We will premier a new piece by our own Lytingale that will later be performed by a mass choir at Sister Singers Network Festival    in Cleveland.

​
From choral anthems to contemporary pop tunes, there’s something for everyone -- music to make you laugh, cry, and dance.

Lytingale, Georgia Pressman, Jane Snyder will accompany the choir on piano, flute, and a variety of percussion instruments.   And  for this concert, we welcome 8 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.
