Sunday, November 19, 3pm, King Avenue United Methodist Church, 299 King Ave.

We are the city’s only feminist chorus, about fifty voices singing for you or for someone you know, since 1989. We’ve been working hard, rehearsing songs written by women for everyone, from Eleanor Roosevelt to Lady Gaga, Malala Yousafzi to Sojourner Truth, blues to Tin Pan Alley, and much more!

Our venue is handicap-accessible and our concerts are kid-friendly.

Friday, November 10, 7:30pm, King Ave. United Methodist Church, 299 King Ave.

Civil rights sit-ins. Bell-bottoms. Anti-war marches. Student Power. Afros. Mini-skirts. Hippies. Riots. Space flights. The generation gap.

Those hallmarks of the turbulent 1960s will be rekindled as Bill Cohen leads his annual candlelit musical year-by-year journey through the era, with live and familiar 1960s folksongs, “news reports” of sixties happenings, displays of anti-war buttons and posters, and far-out sixties fashions.
