A really interesting mix of talent. Some have had long careers. Others are just starting. The promise is to get up close and personal with the audience, find connection in one another and stories of our lives that resonate far beyond the words and through the frequencies and vibrations of organized sound which equals....MUSIC.

There will be NO intermission but rather a short bathroom/stretch break if necessary. There will be a lovely reception after the concert in the social hall. The ladies will have product that you can purchase available at that time. Some will not have product, but this will be a great opportunity to browse and speak with each lady more intimately.
