Seattle Women’s Chorus welcomes Resident Conductor Beth Ann Bonnecroy to the podium. Legacy honors the music and stories we inherit, while shaping the ones we leave behind. Songs from female, BIPOC, trans and nonbinary composers are highlighted. We will be among the first groups to perform Moira Smiley’s newest anthem celebrating queer experience and queer joy. “We are timeless, boundless, we are far, we are near. We are alive beyond the poison of fear. We are all stronger when we are open and true. You with me, me with you.”
