ACC/GTM presents: Elizabeth Swados' "Bible Women" and a Tribute to Israel
Bible Women is a contemporary song cycle by Tony nominated composer Elizabeth Swados. Swados writes, "The women represented in Bible Women are names the audience recognizes, but most have probably forgotten the narrative behind the name. I picked women who, it seemed to me, had a universality in their battles, sorrows, victories and contemplations...If I had to categorize the "style" of this piece I would have to say it is a strongly vocal oriented sound strongly influenced by world music, jazz, gospel and pop. Although the interpretation of these characters is rooted in Jewish storytelling, I intended to create a circle of women whose words and attitudes could also be secular as well as spiritual, feisty, lost, curious and intelligent." Thanks to the generosity of Ms. Swados, we are excited to be performing this dynamic work at our convention.
Additionally, selections celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the State of Israel will be performed.
