KNOWING SHE HATH WINGS
LISTEN TO THE LADYES' VIRTUAL CHOIR
While we were not be able to gather together in person for concerts in 2020, we're delighted to sing together from wherever we were and share with you!
​
These pieces feature several of our members, and we extend special thanks to Julie Gaulke for her sound and video editing.
This is our first ever virtual performance of the gorgeous “Deep Peace” by Bill Douglas. We hope it brings some healing and comfort.
Franz Biebl's "Ave Maria," set for two treble choruses.
