15 May 2010 | SPRING CONCERT

"Forces of Nature"

The fury of a hurricane … the caress of a campfire

The raging of a tornado … a gentle ocean breeze

The devastation of an earthquake … the salvation of loving arms ...

Forces of Nature shape our world, and we are each a Force of Nature.

Come join the Common Woman Chorus in celebrating through music the powerful, awe-inspiring, subtle and persistent forces that mold our earth and shape our lives.

22 November 2008 | DIVINE SECRETS OF THE LA-LA SISTERHOOD!

In the fall of 2008, the Common Woman Chorus celebrated its legacy growth, honoring the planters of the first idea, the founding mothers who nurtured it and brought it to life, and the gardeners who tend it today. The Chorus is different than its first seedling, yet growing from the same root stock. We continue to sing about the diversity of women’s lives. We seek, as always, to address injustice, to highlight triumphs over adversity, to diminish the power of prejudice by laughing at its absurdity. Change is also evidence, however. Emphasis on the feminist ideals of the early 1980s has evolved into woman-positive language and values. The political activism of the earlier chorus has given way to more polished performances that serve to address social issues through the message in the music. It is not your mother’s chorus, but a fine daughter growing up.

10 May 2008 | IDENTITY CAFÉ

Identity. Milan Kundera wrote the novel. John Cusack starred in the film. Web 2.0 sites encourage us to describe ours in succinct acronyms.

SLs seeking same, musicians seeking a tribe, and all others seeking progressive entertainment were welcomed at the Chorus’s Identity Café, where we celebrated our differences and commonality as interpreted through the universal language of music.

26-27 October 2007

The chorus opened Neither Model Nor Muse: Women and Artistic Expression, the third biennial symposium of Duke University's Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture, with inspirational music culled from the archives, then offered an expanded version of this concert to the general public. The symposium explored the ways in which women have expressed themselves through three centuries and many art forms, including choral music.
