Current Work
We are planning for our 25th anniversary year in 2006 and need to find a host for our women's choral festival. It could be you! Please visit the Wheels/Festival Production link on our website to find out more. |
History
In 1981, Echo (Linda Ray) of the Kansas City Women's Chorus and Linda Small of the St. Louis Women's Choir started the Sister Singers Network with a logo, letterhead, and a list of choruses. It was their vision to create a feminist network of women's choruses that could learn from each other and come together to share music.
The early SSN choral festivals were part of the Ozark Women's Festivals, until the SSN outgrew them. The first separate choral festival that was hosted by the SSN was in Kansas City in 1984.
Sister Singers Network has hosted several international women's choral festivals in various cities around the United States, including Kansas City, St. Louis, Madison, Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston, Cincinnati, and Grand Rapids.
In October 1999 at an SSN planning meeting in Chicago, a very exciting thing happened. The Grand Rapids Women's Chorus with the help of Sistrum from Lansing, MI, offered to host the next Sister Singers Network Festival in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2001.
A work group sprang out of that meeting to assist with planning. They produced the festival in May 2001, which was attended by 26 choruses.
The next choral festival is being planned for our 25th anniversary year in 2006.
