“I loved my first season of womensong! The music was beautiful and everyone has been very kind and welcoming! I’m so happy I’ve gotten to reconnect with Hillary and Rose. It truly felt like coming home. Thank you for the opportunity to sing with such lovely ladies! Looking forward to the next season!!” - Janine P.

 

“NJWomensong embodies what singing in a group is all about: community, camaraderie, growth, and fun! Inspired by both our members’ and directors’ commitment to craft and excellence, I feel challenged by the repertoire and rigor of rehearsals. I enjoy being able to set aside work and family to do something for myself—to sing, to connect with others, to laugh…

 

Recently, as I navigated my mom’s declining health and eventual passing, singing with NJWS became especially meaningful and healing. Driving to and from the hospital with the music files cranked up, I’d internalize the lyrics and dynamics. I have been buoyed by the support of the group, and my heart overflows with gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of the choir.”
