The Indianapolis Women's
Chorus
All God's Critters Got
a Place in the Choir Saturday, November 17, 2007, 5 p.m. Sunday,
November 18, 2007, 5:00 p.m.
Park Tudor School 7200
N. College Avenue, Indianapolis
Songs of struggle and
tales of triumph illuminate our common hope to find our "place in the choir."
This interdisciplinary performance, part of the 2007 Spirit & Place
Festival, explores the heartaches of rejection and the joy of finding
acceptance inside communities and congregations of love and generosity. As the
song All God's Critters Got a Place in the Choir says, "Everybody here is part
of the plan, we all get to play in the great critter band. From the eagle in
the sky to the whale in the sea, it's one great symphony!"
For more information on the
Spirit & Place Festival please visit the Spirit & Place

The Indianapolis
Womens Chorus moves to the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and
Western Art for its April concert, Song Sketches Drawn from the Earth. Inspired
by Yosemite: Art of an American Icon, an exhibit at the Eiteljorg from March 22
to August 9, this multidisciplinary performance will evoke the scent of morning
mists, the scale of sky-brushing cliffs, and the quiet color of sunrise.
Enjoy familiar favorites
such as Cole Porters Dont Fence Me In; Colors of the Wind, from
Disneys Pocahontas, and Harry Belafontes Turn the World Around, as
well as music by The Chenille Sisters and songs inspired by indigenous peoples
(Inuit, Oneida, Australian, and Guaymi). This unique performance, which will be
held in-the-round in the Allen Whitehill Clowes Sculpture Court, will also
feature four original works created by chorus members, a collaboration with
local dancers, and other choral works that celebrate the breathtaking majesty
and fiery power of the Earth as well as the cascading waters and grounded glory
of the natural world.
