Recent “Sightings”

Womansong gives back singing around Asheville!

As we moved into the post Helene era, the Villagers of Womansong wanted to “give back” to those who supported us throughout the recent impacts of Helene. The residents of the Deerfield Community allowed us to gather in their facilities (at no charge) and lift each other through song after a hiatus of not singing together. Even though we had to cancel our concerts this fall, we still wanted to share love through singing. In gratitude, we conducted a sing-along with Deerfield Community residents. Also, the Universal Unitarian Congregation welcomed us at one of their recent services. Lastly, we sang at the VA Hospital in hopes of raising spirits of those in need!

Womansong attended the 13th Sister Singers Network Choral Festival which was held this year in Cleveland, Ohio. Singing members of Womansong shared their voices with choirs nationwide. We are beyond proud to announce that a song written by our own accompanist, Lytingale, was chosen as a mass choir piece! “Together We Can Change The World” was inspired by this year’s theme for the Sisters Singers Network festival, “We Rock the World”.
