General description: Womansong is Asheville's oldest and largest women's community chorus. Womansong performances are known for their high energy, pure entertainment and unusual variety. The chorus’s eclectic repertoire includes songs from around the world as well as our own backyard – several pieces composed by Womansong members. Lively accompaniment is provided by a variety of instrumentalists along with dancing and drumming. Womansong’s music and community efforts are grounded in the common spirit of women working and singing together. The chorus proclaims unity and honors cultural diversity with songs that celebrate many themes in women’s lives – empowerment, spirituality, healing and humor.
