We are thrilled to bring these women's voices to Cole Valley. Please join us for this concert with members of Musae, a treble vocal ensemble based in San Francisco. The group takes its name from the original "ladies of song," the classic nine Muses of Greek mythology. Since its founding in 2004, Musae has performed diverse and accessible music throughout the Bay Area, and continues to stretch the boundaries of traditional repertoire for treble voices. This event will be followed by a reception with the artists.

What's the music?

Musae Treble Vocal Ensemble

Musae is delighted to present "Timeless Voices: Choral Folk Music," celebrating the rich tapestry of traditional and modern folk music from North America, the British Isles, and Eastern Europe. Our aim is to illuminate the cultural significance and emotional depth inherent in these beloved folk songs.

From North America, you'll hear uplifting arrangements from Shaker and Appalachian song traditions, including "Bright Morning Stars Are Rising," "Lay Me Low," and "Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal," alongside a soulful rendition of "Bring Me a Little Water, Silvy." We’ll also feature modern folk examples, such as Leonard Cohen's iconic "Hallelujah" and "Warrior" by Kim Baryluk of the Wyrd Sisters.

Our program will also feature the poignant Irish ballad "The Parting Glass," commonly sung at farewell gatherings, as well as lullabies such as "Lullay My Liking" from England and "Lauliku Lapsepõli" from Estonia. Additionally, we’ll present a cherished hymn from Georgia, notable for being the only sacred music permitted during the Soviet regime.
