It was an amazing experience.  To be honest, I was really going to support my colleague, Cecily Harwitt as I am not really into choir music.  I was happily surprised by these astonishing women for not only their talent but their selection of multi-cultural songs spanning African music and even a song in Arabic.  The choir also acknowledged the current protests about racism in our country before launching into a couple civil rights era songs.<\/p>\n<p>The concert also featured Melanie Demore, who has one of the richest, most resonate voices I have ever heard.  They play again today at 2, catch it if you can.  Meanwhile, check out Mrs. Demore&#8217;s haunting rendition of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot here http:\/\/youtu.be\/tY_22UhpEdQ<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, Emily and our friends Jared and Tasha went to go and listen to Anna Crusis Women&#8217;s Choir.
