The Acton Community Chorus Winter Lights Concert will be held on Saturday, January 11th at the Acton Congregational Church in Acton. We hope you will join us as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote. Our concert will feature songs by women composers and featuring the text of female poets. The main piece will be "A Winter Day" by Sarah Quartel. This five-movement work celebrates the long Canadian winter, setting texts by Sara Teasdale, Lucy Maud Montgomery (of 'Anne of Green Gables' fame), and Melville Cane. Each movement depicts a different time of day, beginning with the cold darkness before dawn (Timid Star) and concluding with the evening turning into dusk and darkness (Snow Toward Evening). The music conjures up vivid images of a cold and crisp winter, and of swirling, dancing snowflakes.
