Join our Artistic Director at Ferry Beach this summer for Sopranos and Altos - One week only: "We Harbor One Another"
A Women’s Choral Festival at Ferry Beach
Set beside the ocean during Ferry Beach’s 125th anniversary celebration of Universal Love, this week-long women’s choral festival explores the ways we care for, strengthen, and uplift one another through music.
Through songs of courage, joy, ancestry, resilience, belonging, and hope, singers will gather in community to celebrate the many ways women carry light for each other across generations and across life’s changing tides. From the fierce independence of I Am My Mother’s Savage Daughter and Wild Embers, to the compassion of Would You Harbor Me and Be the Bridge, this repertoire honors both the fire within us and the shelter we create together.
Ocean imagery flows throughout the program — harbors, tides, stones, stars, and waves become metaphors for connection, healing, and shared humanity. Together, these songs invite us to reflect on what it means to be welcomed, witnessed, empowered, and loved.
In a world that can feel fragmented and uncertain, We Harbor One Another offers space for renewal, authenticity, laughter, reflection, and collective song by the sea.
