Concord Women’s Chorus is a 45-voice ensemble from Concord and greater Boston. Directed by Jane Ring Frank, now in her 29th year, CWC performs a wide range of classical and contemporary music with emphasis on works written for women’s voices.
For Concord Women’s Chorus, music is alchemy. Our commitment to the mastery and performance of a dynamic repertoire for women transforms the act of choral singing into an instrument for collaboration, education, and connection. We are confident singers who care deeply about creating, through women’s voices, a source of strength and inspiration for ourselves, our audience, and the world around us.
In addition to our regular concerts, we often engage in other significant performances and projects. These have included benefit concerts for Wayside Hospice and the Bethke Cancer Center and collaborations with the Concord-Carlisle High School Girls Chorus, the Concord Orchestra and the Concord Festival of Authors. We have taken several concert tours in the U.S., Canada and Great Britain. In our ongoing desire to bring attention and excitement to music written for women, we have commissioned two new works: Concord Fragments, by Libby Larsen (2010) and The Tree House, by Beth Denisch (2017).
