Chorister’s Songbook: For Her

Join us for the Da Camera Singers for a special concert celebrating International Women’s Day, inspired by our much-loved “Chorister’s Songbook” series.

This performance features music inspired by and chosen to honour the women in our lives. Da Camera singers will share their personal stories and favorite musical selections, creating an intimate and moving experience. Our voices will be raised for the women who shaped us, with songs that carry memory, gratitude and strength. The program includes a world premiere, commissioned by the family of a Da Camera member.

Michelle says: “She is There, is a new work by Laura Hawley with text by Jannie Edwards, an Edmonton writer and poet. The piece honours and celebrates the life and legacy of our mothers and sister, three remarkable, determined women whose legacies live on in our hearts. The arc of lives fully lived is intricately woven throughout the work, and we continue to feel their presence and hear their voices in both the music and poetry. A wonderful tribute to amazing women.”

For this concert there will be displays in the lobby..

Donations through ticket sales will be directed toward “Sing for Life” an Edmonton-based non-profit society that offers opportunities for participation in the arts to people who do not normally have access to such programming, including the Edmonton Institution for Women.
