SAN DIEGO – This weekend the acclaimed 85-voice-strong San Diego Women’s Chorus (SDWC) concludes its 29th season with performances of Everything She Touches, with hundreds of patrons from all over Southern California projected to attend. The concert will take place on Saturday November 19 at 7:00pm and Sunday November 20 at 4:00pm at the beautiful state-of-the-art CPMA Theatre in Clairemont (5050 Conrad Avenue, 92117). Attendees are invited to a pre-show reception one hour prior to showtime each day, where they can enjoy food, drinks, and a chance to win opportunity drawing baskets. Tickets are now on sale at www.SDWC.org and will be for sale at the door, as available.
Filled with thought-provoking and inspiring songs, Everything She Touches celebrates community, both local and global, and the responsibility to each other to make a better society for everyone. “Everything She Touches is about our relationship to each other and the environment that surround us. Sometimes powerfully and sometimes tenderly, our music will explore our role as weavers of the intrinsically interconnected web of the world,” states Artistic Director Kathleen Hansen.
A beautiful tapestry of varied musical genres, poignant messages and stirring emotions, the concert will engage minds and delight the senses. Audiences will be treated to beloved favorites from Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks and the Beatles, dance along in their seats to pop songs from Walk The Moon and Imagine Dragons, hear gorgeous compositions by Ysaye Barnwell and Joan Szymko, and experience lively rhythms from Brazil and Uganda.
The San Diego Women’s Chorus is also thrilled to announce the California premiere of Glenda and Lauree: There are Certain Kinds of Love That Never Die, inspired by the true-life story of Glenda Elliott and the love she shared with a woman named Lauree in 1940s Georgia, a time and place that offered no role models for loving someone of the same sex. Now in her 70s, Ms. Elliott first shared her memories through the popular NPR program StoryCorps. After hearing the segment on the radio, Gerald Gurss, the director of One Voice Charlotte in North Carolina, was immediately inspired to put her words to music for his mixed voice chorus. He has now created a beautiful arrangement for women’s voices, specifically for the San Diego Women’s Chorus, which will premiere at Everything She Touches.
Tickets for Everything She Touches are on sale now and can be purchased at www.sdwc.org or https://sdwc.ticketleap.com/everything-she-touches. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door and discounted tickets are available for youth, students, seniors, military, and patrons with disabilities. Both performances will be ASL-interpreted for deaf and hard-of-hearing audience members.
