Bev Grant
& the Brooklyn Women's Chorus
The Brookyln Women's Chorus now has its own website.
Bev is the founder and director of the Brooklyn Women's Chorus, formed in October, 1997. The chorus has a repertoire ranging from South African freedom songs to socially relevant songs by contemporary American songwriters like Garth Brooks, Jackson Browne, Pat Humphries, and Bev Grant herself. Topics range from freedom and justice, to peace, resistance, and women's labor history. They have recorded a CD entitled, "Brooklyn Women's Chorus and the Power of Song". Listen to clips of all the songs on this CD at http://cdbaby.com/cd/brooklynwc.
There are no auditions necessary to join the Brooklyn Women's Chorus, only a strong desire to sing. It is Bev's contention that everyone can sing, and the proof is in the rousing performances by the chorus. The Brooklyn Women's Chorus communicates with a joyful voice, sure to uplift anyone who hears them.
The Brooklyn Women's Chorus has performed for residents of the Brooklyn Women's Shelter, the Geriatric Unit at Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, a Women's Health Fair sponsored by State Senator Velmanette Montgomery, a Midwifery conference, the 85th Anniversary celebration of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) at the UN, and the Good Coffee House at Brooklyn's Ethical Culture Society.
Rehearsals are once a week on Tuesday nights from 7:30 – 9:00 pm and are held at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture at 53 Prospect Park West.
