When I first encountered Muse in the Fall of 1983, I could not have imagined the lasting impact that it would have on my life. Coming back last weekend for the “Muse at 25” Concert reminded me of the many lessons that I learned in Muse…
I learned a sense of community-that taking care of ourselves and each other may be one of the most important things in the world.
That we are all ‘connected’-the decisions that I make to “act” (or not) impact all around me.
That it is my responsibility to use the power that I have to fight for those who have less.
I had never heard MUSE sing when I walked into my audition. I had sung in choirs all through Elementary, Junior High, High School and college and I couldn't bear to think of my life without singing in a choir.
Ruth Rowan was certainly surprised when, in the middle of her interpretation of MUSE's 25th Anniversary Concert, she was honored with an Enduring Spirit Award. Her friends and family nominated her for her tireless contribution and service making music meaningful to ALL people.
Friends of Therese Edell nominated her for MUSE's Enduring Spirit Award for our 25th Anniversary Season. Therese was able to attend the 8:00 pm concert to receive her award. Mary Lynn Barber (AII) delivered a heart-felt and moving tribute to this remarkable woman who has given our community so much.
MUSE is dedicated to musical excellence and social change. We are women of diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. Your talent, enthusiasm and presence are welcome!
