Bella Voce Spring Concert Announcement:


Bella Voce Spring Concert: "Songs of Strength and Spirit" to feature  
music for, by and about women

Two concerts planned in St. Albans and in Burlington



Bella Voce Women's Chorus will present "Songs of Strength and Spirit"

Friday, May 18, 8:00 p.m. at St. Luke's Episcopal, 8 Bishop St., St.  
Albans, VT

and

Saturday, May 19, 8:00 p.m. at the UVM Recital Hall,

Redstone Campus, Burlington, VT.



Dr. Dawn Willis will lead the 40 women of the chorus in a program  
which will feature music of Gwyneth Walker of Braintree, Vermont,  
including two of Walker's sets of songs composed for women's voices.   
The first set entitled "The Spirit of Women" includes three songs  
based on different traditional American spirituals.  The second set -  
"Six Songs for Women's Voices" - are musical settings of poems by  
American poet May Swenson.  These songs address a variety of subjects  
that relate to women's interests and issues.  Also included in the  
concert will be three Hebrew songs sung by women in the Terezin  
concentration camp during World War II.  Kaleidoscope, the Essex  
Junction High School Women's Chorus, will join Bella Voce for a  
portion of the Burlington concert. The rousing Finale from Gilbert and  
Sullivan's operetta "The Gondoliers" will close the concert.
