Sing in the spring on Saturday May 15, 8:00 pm, and Sunday May 16, 3:00 pm at the House of Joy in College Hill when MUSE will present "Still We Rise: The Women Gather" our combination 27th Spring Concert/13th New Spirituals Project with special guest Linda Tillery.

In her 13th appearance with MUSE, Ms. Tillery arrives in time to work with the choir prior to the concert, and she sings her own inspired set, too. Coming off of her recent recording with the Cultural Heritage Choir, Linda will perform her "Train Medley" with soloists from MUSE, and the chorus is already cookin' on the arrangement.

Tillery, a dynamite musician and veteran vocalist from Oakland, CA travels to Cincinnati for every New Spirituals Project program [begun in 1994]. Her set will include spirituals, works songs, congregational singing, and children's game songs. Come prepared to participate--Linda invites all into a jubilant call-response atmosphere.

The children and moms (grandmothers, aunts, significant others) will sing an uptempo piece from Tillery's CD, Shakin' a Tailfeather. Spring concert repertoire, with words and music primarily by women composers, will be featured as always.

Bring your mothers, sisters, aunts, nanas, your fathers, brothers, uncles, and gramps to share in two concerts rolled into one. The tag (or coda) to our title above, Still We Rise, is “We Gonna Have a Good Time!”

Join us for a wonderful concert sure to lift your spirits. And don't forget to make the most of your ticket.
