"Lifting As We Climb"
The concert celebrates the transformative power of music in driving social change, and features Joan Szymko's choral libretto, "Lifting As We Climb." Commissioned by CHARIS and other GALA choirs in 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, this piece uses historical speeches and songs to narrate the ongoing struggle for women’s suffrage and equality in the United States, highlighting the voices of activists like Lucretia Mott and Susan B. Anthony. It not only honors the past but also calls for continued activism and solidarity in addressing today’s challenges.
