WomenSing, the adventurous East Bay women’s chorus, rings in the season of light and joy with Ring the Bells, a festive celebration of song accompanied by chimes and timpani. The program opens with Bullard’s Ring the Bells in a “surround the audience” effect of handbells and voices, immediately followed by the grandeur of O Viridissima Virga by composer, Emma Lou Diemer, based on Hildegard Von Bingen texts. Diemer, an important figure in American choral music of the 20th century and the present time, is WomenSing's fatured composer for the 2014-2015 season. We add Latin American spice with selections including the beautiful Mexican lullaby, Señora Santa Ana and the fun of Cantemos a María from the Dominican Republic. The concert closes with Rutter's exquisite Candlelight Carol, sung in the round. Don't miss this joyful concert of the traditional...and the unexpected!
