Join 150+ Mystics, led by music director Mike Pfitzer, in KEEP MARCHING: WOMEN’S MUSIC THROUGH THE AGES. We’ll sing favorites, including Love is Like a Butterfly by Dolly Parton, Would You Harbor Me? by Ysaye Barnwell (of Sweet Honey in the Rock), Crowded Table by The Highwomen (Brandi Carlile’s ensemble), Closer to Fine by the Indigo Girls, and Pata Pata by Miriam Makeba. In addition, we’ll sing music by women from nearly 1,000 years ago up to the present day, with vocal arrangements by medieval mystic and poet Hildegard von Bingen, Alice Parker, and Lea Morris, as well as suffragist anthems Bread and Roses and songs from the new Broadway musical, Suffs.
For those who wish to participate from afar, we offer the option of joining as a virtual singer.
Ten weeks of rehearsals begin September 3, 7:30-9:30 at First Parish Church, 630 Mass Ave, in Arlington. We will perform a rousing concert at Cary Hall in Lexington on Friday, November 8.
