Inland Valley Women’s Chorus is hosting a Community SONGFEST to celebrate its 30th Anniversary! Everyone welcome!

During the SONGFEST, chorus members will share some of their tried-and-true harmony favorites interspersed with easy-to-learn singalongs. Cake and munchies provided.

Inland Valley Women’s Chorus is a group of women who love to sing together. Our repertoire comes from a variety of traditions and includes songs about women, peace, justice, harmony with nature, healing, and inspiration. Some are familiar, some international. Many pieces have been written by the group’s own members, friends, and contemporary songwriters.

Inland Valley Women’s Chorus (IVWC) was founded by Judy Fjell in the fall of 1993. Some of the original members are still singing in the chorus! Madge Strong has been the director since 1997.

During many of its thirty years, IVWC has hosted either a yearly concert or a chorus invitational, as well as a Winter Solstice Community Sing for Peace. The chorus has also sung many times over the years for various organizations and events, from Project Sanctuary and elder care facilities to Women’s History Day, World AIDs Day, and Martin Luther King Day. During the pandemic years, we managed mainly with Zoom and an occasional gathering in a park. Now, we are singing together mostly for our own joy and inspiration at our weekly meetings, summer potlucks, and our annual retreat.

IVWC sings together in person every Thursday from 6–7:30 pm at Holy Trinity Church, 640 S. Orchard (Mary & Martha Room) in Ukiah. If you have an interest in joining IVWC, contact Madge at 707-459-1493 or mstrong@willitsonline.com.

Please join us in our SONGFEST to celebrate our 30th Anniversary!
