Join the Juneau Pride Chorus for their 2009 concert and dance on the theme of Women's Bodies, Women's Strength, February 28, 7:30 p.m. at the Juneau Arts & Culture Center.
Songs include Alix Dobkin's "If It Wasn't for the Women," "This One's for the Girls," "Hair," "Respect," Enya's "Ebudae" and "Hattie and Mattie" from Holly Near. Plus, a delightful group of Pride Chorus members' children will be singing "My Body's Nobody's Body But Mine."
After the singing, there will be dancing to music performed by female musicians. Refreshments will be served during the intermission. Tickets are available from Chorus members or at the door – $15 for adults, $30 for a family, $12 for seniors and students. Everyone is welcome!
Last year's Pride Chorus concert was the 10th anniversary show, on the theme Songs for the Soul. Chorus members Jill, Linda and Paula wrote about the concert.
The Juneau Pride Chorus will also be the opening act at the annual Women of Distinction Dinner sponsored by AWARE of Juneau, on March 7 at Centennial Hall. One of the Women of Distinction this year is Marsha Buck, member of the Pride Chorus, PFLAG Juneau and Alaskans Together for Equality.
"These women were chosen for their dedication and relentless service to peace, justice and the empowerment of women," reads the Women of Distinction 2009 page. "Each honoree has enriched the lives of women and children and have made a legacy of compassion out of their own lives."
The Pride Chorus songs will be followed by a catered dinner, silent auction and speeches by each of the women about what inspires them. Proceeds benefit AWARE's domestic violence and sexual assault prevention and intervention services.
Congratulations, Marsha!
