BWC: Spring 2016 Anniversary Concert

Brattleboro Womens Chorus Spring 2016 Anniversary Concert: May 7, 2016 at Next Stage Arts in Putney, VT

As part of the ongoing celebrations of their twentieth anniversary year, the Brattleboro Women’s Chorus will present a concert of music composed entirely by founder/conductor, Becky Graber.

A few of the compositions are from past years, but most are new, composed especially for this concert. Several of the pieces are Graber’s original words. Others are poetry she has set to music, including “Sit By an Apple Tree” by Louise Erdrich, “Winter’s Harvest” by Jane Elsdon, “Trust” by Pierre Teilhard du Chardin, “Light Beams” by Antonio Machado, and “Clearing” by Martha Postlethwaite. And two of the poems are the words of chorus members, “Our Whole Lives Long” by Lynette Sievert and Graber, and “When I Saw the Hawk” by Sue Owings.

The chorus of over 100 women will be accompanied by Cathy Martin on piano, Lisa McCormick on guitar, Jen Rice on marimba, Bill Ballard on alto sax, Connie Green on flute, and Maggie Smith on bells.
