Members of The Indianapolis Women’s Chorus will raise their voices and raise a ruckus in order to raise funds needed to support the group's work in the community. The benefit's music will tell a powerful story of love, sacred connection, acceptance and creativity with songs ranging from African chants and spirituals to classical and improvisational forms. Special features will include two original songs, “Motown Divas” and “Judyism,” created by chorus members, and numerous opportunities for the audience to sing along. Artistic Director Pam Blevins Hinkle notes, “We need everyone’s voice and everyone’s help to continue our work of building bridges of unity and understanding and promoting acceptance of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.” Now in its 14th year the Indianapolis Women’s Chorus, an ensemble of IndyChoruses, has appeared at community festivals, national religious conferences and international choral festivals, singing from the souls of women and speaking to the heart of the human community with its striking sound and diverse repertoire.

The WHY WE SING benefit performance will feature shopping (including works by artists in the chorus) and a silent auction throughout the performance, tasty treats, a community sing-along at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 5:30 p.m. Sunday, with performances at 8 p.m. Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday. Bring your appetite for food and bargains, bring your pocketbook, and bring your enthusiasm!
