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.  Efforts to win this essential right began as the United States was forming and lasted throughout the 1800s, becoming entangled with the fight to abolish enslavement. An amendment was finally proposed in 1878, but it took 41 years to become law. The details are fascinating, the music lively and compelling.

Please note: This concert will not  be at our usual venue. We will return to Trinity Episcopal Church in May.

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. This wholehearted program is sure to delight, and honors works by women, including Melissa Dunphy’s Grown Wild, Emma Lou Diemer’s Hope is the Thing, Tara Traxler’s Birds of Passage and more.
