With support from the California Arts Council, Women’s Center for Creative Work will partner with choral artists Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs and Tany Ling to produce Community Chorus, a free, bi-weekly safe space to join our voices in song. The artists and musical guests will provide instruction, technique, and lyrics to under-served communities. Under the artists’ leadership, the Community Chorus will perform publicly and at justice-seeking community gatherings throughout the year.
