With the conviction that any woman can sing, the Brooklyn Women’s Chorus brings together women of many different levels of musical experience under the direction of founder, Bev Grant. Now over 17 years old, the chorus is flourishing as a place where women use music and spoken word to express their individual talents as well as their collective belief in social justice. 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.
