WE GOT ISSUES
Join Another Octave as we face issues personal and political
Fall 2022
In uncertain times, music gives voice to struggles for peace and justice. Another Octave’s fall concert — We Got Issues! — features music of power and protest in a multi-media presentation that speaks to our lives.
Songs by writers such as Bob Geldof, Pat Humphries and Holly Near, a musical setting of poetry by Maya Angelou, spirituals and folk tunes, contemporary anthems and some twists on Broadway repertoire will move you, inspire you, make you angry and sometimes even make you laugh.
Whether singing about caring for our only planet, the ravages of racism, or the struggle for reproductive justice, Another Octave will bring its signature harmonies and inventive programming to We Got Issues!
We Got Issues! will be presented on Saturday, November 19 at 7:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Society of New Haven, 700 Hartford Turnpike, Hamden.
Since its first show in 1990, Another Octave: Connecticut Women’s Chorus has been engaging audiences around Connecticut and out of state with energetic performances and an eclectic repertoire that includes standard concert pieces as well as traditional and contemporary music reflecting women’s lives.
