We Persist, Voices Rising’s winter concert

Voices Rising chorus will perform a concert titled “We Persist” at First Church Cambridge on Saturday, January 25, and Saturday, February 2, 2025. Led by Artistic Director Leora Zimmer, the 60-voice group will present music highlighting modern women composers, including Moira Smiley, Bernice Johnson Reagon, and Alicia Keys. The concert features the words of women suffragists Ida B. Wells and Mary Church Terrell, as well as writings of other women whose original words have been set to music. In a time where voter suppression is a real and present danger to democracy, Voices Rising offers this tribute to persisting in the face of those who would silence the voices of the people.

Saturday, January 25, 7:30 PM, First Church Cambridge
Saturday, February 2, 2025, 3:00 PM, Eliot Church of Newton
