Winter Concerts - How Can I Keep From Singing

Sunday, December 11, 4:00 PM First Presbyterian Church of Oakland

Wednesday, December 14, 8:00 PM Santa Maria Church, Orinda

CONCERT DESCRIPTION: We begin our journey with songs that reflect seasonal joy and offer comfort in the face of global unrest. Highlights include Jessica Lockes Reading of the Names, written in honor of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives at the World Trade Center, and the world premiere of Kirstina Rasmussen Collins How can I keep from singing? specially written for WomenSing. Complementing these pieces will be works by Rheinberger, Glick, Rutter, and an eclectic mix of lyrical, lively, and immortal English Christmas carols.

Spring Concerts - Water is Life

Sunday, June 4, 4:00 PM St. Marks Episcopal Church, Berkeley
- Reception to Follow -

Wednesday, June 7, 8:00 PM Santa Maria Church, Orinda

CONCERT DESCRIPTION: We will immerse ourselves in life-giving water at our Spring 2017 concerts, singing romantic compositions of sea fairies and swift sailings. Folksongs describe deep longings, while more modern souls yearn for a bridge over troubled water.

Works by Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Elgar will be juxtaposed with Marjorie Hallorans 8 Ways to Look at a Window. You heard the first four movements in Spring 2016 come hear the entire set!
