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
