A Light Exists in Spring
CWC celebrates the return of the light with Beth Denisch’s The Tree House, commissioned in 2017 and set for chorus, oboe, cello, and piano. A work of nuance and utter beauty, Denisch has set three of poet Kathleen Jamie’s works – where landscape meets musical language.
Celebrate Women’s History Month with “Winning the Vote”
Chorus member Diane Taraz traces the long and winding road to the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920. The details are fascinating, the music lively and compelling. Join us!

Sing With Us!
Looking to fit more music into your life? We seek and welcome experienced singers to join us. We rehearse on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 am – noon from September through early May at Trinity Episcopal Church, 81 Elm Street in Concord.
Under the direction of Jane Ring Frank, we make wonderful music together. We learn about vocal technique and music theory, we are challenged, and we have fun. Learn more about auditions or contact our Chorus Manager at manager@concordwomenschorus.org with any questions.
“Choral music holds great intellectual and emotional power and has the means, above all arts, to create community—not only among singers but between singers and their audience.”
—Jane Ring Frank
