The Young Womens Chorus performs with special guest artist Geraldine Walther, former principal violist with the San Francisco Symphony and now member of the Takács Quartet. The programs theme focuses on the timely message of searching for the truth. The concert encourages us to search our hearts, to calm our minds, to refrain from gossip, to learn from the past, to refresh ourselves in nature, and to act with kindness. Music will include selections by Hildegard von Bingen, Abbie Betinis, Caroline Shaw, Gwyneth Walker, Andrea Ramsey, Sean Ivory, Daniel Hall, and Larry Nickel.
The Young Womens Chorus of San Francisco is the premier ensemble of the Young Womens
