This weekend, Voices Rising presented Take Up the Song: Music of Protest and Resistance in Needham, and Cambridge, MA. Voices Rising is a feminist, women’s chorus who began performing as a group at Emmanuel Church in Boston at a rally for same-sex marriage. Since then, they have grown considerably since they formed in 2004, and have participated in several charitable events, including such causes as tsunami relief and breast cancer awareness. With their new CD, they “continue to grow as a fixture in the LGBT community.”
