San Diego Women's Chorus Presents 'Hope for the Holidays'

San Diego Women’s Chorus (SDWC) is excited to invite the community to their upcoming winter concert, "Hope for the Holidays," taking place on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at 4 p.m. at Lincoln High School. This concert promises to be an uplifting and inspiring event, providing a much-needed message of hope, love, light, and unity during a time when many feel the weight of division in our society.

Under the artistic direction of Kathleen Hansen, "Hope for the Holidays" will feature a thoughtful mix of winter and holiday songs that represent the joy and love of the season. The selected repertoire reflects SDWC’s mission to unite people of all backgrounds through music. Audience members will be treated to an afternoon of beautiful harmonies that transcend the hustle and bustle of the season, offering a moment of peace and togetherness.

"This year, we've seen a lot of ups and downs, socially, politically, and emotionally," said Artistic Director Kathleen Hansen. “Through our music, we want to offer the community a sense of unity and hope as we begin the winter season.”

The performance will feature a variety of songs, many written or arranged by female and minority composers, including music from Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson, Alexandra Olsavsky of Artemesia, Sia, Joan Szymko, Erica Phare-Bergh, Danielle Jagelski, Claire F. Miley, and Linda Hirschhorn. The musical styles represented include traditional Scots, Gaelic and British songs, a current pop hit holiday song, a medieval Spanish carol, Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, a folk anthem for love and activism, Chanukah Solstice, and more.

SDWC invites everyone to come and enjoy this diverse and empowering concert, filled with the spirit of the holidays and messages of resilience and peace. "Hope for the Holidays" offers a brief yet meaningful escape from the stress of the holiday season, encouraging the community to come together and find hope in music.

General Admission tickets are $25 in advance, and discounted tickets are available for youth, seniors, military, and disabled guests.
