Join us for a powerful and moving evening as Pride Chorus Houston presents “HERstory: A Celebration of Women’s Voices.” Performed on International Women’s Day, this remarkable concert pays tribute to the incredible women who have shaped our world, highlighting their stories and contributions through the transformative power of music.

Herstory” is more than just a concert—it’s a celebration of strength, resilience, and the diverse experiences of women across time and cultures. With a repertoire that spans a rich tapestry of genres and eras, the performance will feature both stirring anthems and intimate ballads, each carefully selected to honor the achievements and voices of women.

We will also be performing the world premier of “I Come With My Songs,” by noted composer Joan Szymko. Inspired by the poetry of Elsa Gidlow, the American poet best known for writing On a Grey Thread (1923), the first volume of openly lesbian love poetry published in North America.

Throughout the evening, the chorus will bring to life a mix of pieces celebrating pioneering figures in the arts and sciences to modern-day trailblazers, underscoring the significance of these voices in our collective “herstory.” Expect a night of inspiring music, heartfelt tributes, and a powerful sense of community as we come together to honor and uplift the stories of women everywhere.

HERstory” is a tribute to the women who have paved the way and those who continue to inspire change. Don’t miss this chance to experience a night of exceptional music and meaningful reflection, celebrating the incredible contributions of women throughout history and in our own lives.
