Resonance Women's Chorus and Sound Circle will host this post-election concert. We will be joined by The Low Flying Knobs and High Fiction.
We are ensembles with a point of view; the concert is focused on nourishing the hearts and souls of individuals who are not happy about the outcome of the election—and it is intended to feel welcoming and inclusive to all. Our intention with this concert is to create beauty, to nourish ourselves with joy, and to be in community with each other. The concert will run 1 hour 15-30 minutes with no intermission. Directions to the venue are below the artist bios. Accessibility: There are a few handicapped parking spots in the entrance circle at the church but the best-case scenario if you need close access would be coming with someone who can drop you off at the entrance. Please email us if you'd like to discuss accessibility needs in advance; we welcome that.
The 15-voice Sound Circle and 120-voice Resonance Women's Chorus, both directed by Sue Coffee, are women's ensembles with roots in the lgbtq choral community, singing messages of social awareness. The two ensembles have hosted collaborative post-election concerts after every presidential election since 2004. soundcirclesings.org, resonancechorus.org
The Low Flying Knobs, an all-women’s Afro-pop marimba ensemble, plays traditional and contemporary music from Zimbabwe, South Africa and other areas of the African Diaspora. Their particular style of marimba was developed in Zimbabwe, based on the ancient marimba and balafon instruments found in other parts of Africa. Formed in 1993, The Low Flying Knobs have always been committed to supporting women and girls in Zimbabwe, and a portion of their proceeds are donated annually to charities working in Zimbabwe to improve daily living conditions and access to education. lowflyingknobs.com High Fiction is Gary Grundei and Amy Shelley, two talented multi-instrumentalists who make densely layered, carefully constructed pop music that will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye — often at the same time. High Fiction makes music propelled by love, curiosity and an overwhelming desire to understand, connect with, and improve the world we live in. highfiction.com First United Methodist Church is at 1421 Spruce St. in Boulder, a block north of the east end of the Pearl Street Mall. Parking in that area of Boulder is a little tricky; there are city garages and on-street parking.
