From the Latin meaning “singing together, harmony,” Concentus Women’s Chorus was conceived and founded in 2000 and is devoted to exploring the wide variety of classical music – ranging from medieval chant through contemporary compositions – written specifically for women’s voices.

This program – “Singing Sisters: Our story of lineage, love, and legacy” – celebrates the group’s 25th season and features many of their favorite pieces, including music by Cary Ratcliffe, Eric Whitacre, and Ysaye Barnwell.

In addition to yearly full-length concert presentations each year, Concentus performs at several special events in the Greater Rochester and Central New York area.
