Whether you are preparing for a release, a funding application, a showcase, or a booking push, this session will help you get organized.
Wednesday, August 19 at 12:00 p.m. Atlantic. Online, free for ECMA members.
CHAPTER TWO: THE WOMEN This show isn't just 13 women standing on a stage singing Rita MacNeil songs, it's 13 women carrying something forward. Check it out!CHAPTER TWO: THE WOMEN
Thirteen women singing the songs and four women telling the stories.
When this project began, each woman arrived with her own relationship to Rita's music. Some grew up with these songs, some discovered them later, some knew Rita personally, while others knew her simply through the music she left behind.
Through this experience, we've gotten to know a side of Rita that allowed us a greater understanding of the music, and of the artist she became. We've gotten to know a history that exists between the lines, of not just Rita, but of women who were fighting for change.
This show isn't just 13 women standing on a stage singing Rita MacNeil songs, it's 13 women carrying something forward.
