ARTS Pick: WinterSongs brings together women in song

The fourth annual WinterSongs brings together hundreds of local female vocalists using their voices as a weapon to fight violence against women in our community. After a day of “joyful empowerment” where they “mix, share, support, cheer and sing for each other,” student ensembles from Charlottesville, Albemarle and the University of Virginia will perform a celebratory public concert organized by Craig Jennings, choral director at Burley Middle School. All funds raised go to the Shelter for Help in Emergency.

Saturday, February 24. Donations accepted at the door, 5pm. Monticello High School, 1400 Independence Way. 244-3100.

ARTS Pick: WinterSongs

Music is in the air when the third annual WinterSongs concert brings together women’s choirs from nine area schools to raise their voices to benefit the Shelter for Help in Emergency. The event, created as a response to violence against women in our community, includes students from Charlottesville, Albemarle and Monticello high schools, Burley, Sutherland and Henley middle schools and the University of Virginia. In addition to performances from individual choruses, the evening concludes with an all-choir finale of Katy Perry’s “Rise.”
