Join Aurora this MARCH 8th at 4:00pm at First Congregational Church.
“Any great change must expect opposition, because it shakes the very foundation of privilege.”
These words of 19th century abolitionist and feminist Lucretia Mott set the tone for Aurora Chorus’ 7th Annual International Women’s Day. Join Aurora as we celebrate and sing for the “movers and the shakers” — the strong women of our world who seek to empower themselves with words and with action — women like Rosa Parks and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. The year 2020 also marks the 100th Anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment which granted women in America the right to vote. Aurora will offer a taste of Artistic Director Joan Szymko’s new major work “Lifting as We Climb” — a celebration of this pivotal moment in history.
Aurora also welcomes Leela Grace to our stage. Leela is a nationally recognized singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, percussive dancer, and teacher of music and dance. She has earned critical and audience praise for the "great depth and insight" of her original songs, which have been featured on NPR's All Songs Considered and chosen for inclusion on a "Best of Portland Acoustic Music" compilation CD. She is the founder of the Rose City Folk School and the director of ResistSing!
Who We Are
Since 1992, Aurora Chorus has honored the strength and beauty of women’s lives through the fine art of choral singing. Aurora was founded on the belief that music can be a powerful instrument of peace—locally, globally, and in the hearts of all who sing and all who listen. In an atmosphere of personal growth and cooperation, Aurora is proud to provide both novice and experienced singers with an unparalleled opportunity to expand and transform a love of singing into an understanding and appreciation of healthy vocal production, choral technique, musical expression, and musical literacy. Directed by renowned choral composer Joan Szymko, Aurora Chorus is comprised of more than 90 singers from the Portland/Vancouver metro area. Learn more.
