=============================================
From a lively and joyous twilight, the sun sets, evening begins and
the mysteries of darkness and dreams unfold. But dawn returns, with
morning sun and the beauty of a new day.
To celebrate autumn, the Washington Women's Chorus performs a rich and
poetic program. Composers including Alexandru Pascanu, Ruth Watson
Henderson, Gwyneth Walker and Cécile Chaminade have set evocative
texts by poets such as Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Jane Kenyon and
Eleanor Farjeon.
This concert also features the Washington area premiere of three
pieces by New Zealand composer David Hamilton: "Chinese Moon", "Shall
I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?" and "In a Glorious Garden Green."

ABOUT THE WASHINGTON WOMEN'S CHORUS
"As all right-thinking people agree, there are few things in life as
beautiful as the female voice--and if one is good, more are even
better. For proof, just turn your ears toward the Washington Women's
Chorus, which since 1996 has been bringing everything from medieval
chant to ultramodern new vocal works to the region."
--Stephen Brookes, The Washington Post, May 9, 2006
The 45-singer Washington Women's Chorus was founded in 1996 to present
Washington, DC area audiences with the wealth of choral music written
for women's voices. The WWC repertoire ranges from the 11th Century
chants of Abbess Hildegard von Bingen, to compositions by Vivaldi and
Brahms, to new works by American and international composers.
The chorus has premiered more than 40 choral pieces in the Washington
metropolitan area including many recent works by women composers.
