Four waves of feminism, and we Still Ain't Satisfied. Join MUSE this season to explore the triumphs and struggles of feminism throughout history. From the first-wave feminism focusing on overturning legal inequalities to the fourth wave's emphasis on intersectionality and body positivity, this Fall concert features feminist and social justice songs that echo the spirit of perseverance and change, coupled with the stories of why these songs need to exist in the first place.
After relfecting on the missed opportunities from the past four waves, we wonder How We Begin Again. What would an ideal world look like? And, most importantly, who was excluded in the past waves of feminism? Featuring a new commission, MUSE's Spring concert looks to inspire a new generation of artist-activists, and reignite the flame of those who's hope may have dwindled.
Support our New Commission
Your generous gift fuels our mission to lift up unheard voices and empower women through the unique power of choral music. In MUSE's 42-year history, we've brought to life over 81 new works and 130 new arrangements for SSAA choirs, amplifying voices that demand to be heard.
Now, we’re excited to commission an inspiring new piece by Ayo Awosika, premiering at our Spring Concert in April. Will you help lay the foundation for this impactful new work? Join us in creating a legacy that resonates for generations.
Composer, Ayo Awosika

Seating is open within your chosen section and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Sections will be clearly labeled in the theatre, and an usher will be nearby to help guide you to your section.
There isn’t a bad seat in the house!
Example: Beyoncé purchases a ticket in the Premium Center section. She arrives at MSJ and picks up her will-call ticket at the box office. She is met by an usher as she enters the theatre, who asks for her ticket and guides her to the Premium Center section. She chooses her seat within the section, enjoys the show, and then donates a million dollars to MUSE. (We can dream, right?)
Premium Center, $45 - The first few rows in the center of the audience, allowing you to be up close to MUSE with the best sight lines.

Her practice includes digital designs, murals, and punch needle art, which recently led to a commission by St. Vincent Women’s Hospital.
Originally a hairstylist for 15 years, Shaunt’e’s passion for art was reignited during the 2020 pandemic, prompting her to transition to a full-time art career by 2021.
