A message from our Artistic Director, Jane Ring Frank… Listen as Jane talks about how we have spent our time last year without the ability to perform as well as the beautiful new music we have commissioned.
A conversation between composer Melissa Dunphy and poet Melissa Apperson, whose text was used for “Grown Wild”. Listen as they talk about the creative process and their collaboration. We can’t wait to share this piece with you at our concert on October 23.

Sing With Us!
Looking to fit more music into your life? We seek and welcome experienced singers to join us. We will be rehearsing in person again 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 Chorus Manager Patsy Eickelberg 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.”
