SUMMARY:Weird Sisters: Songs of Witches\, Magic and Powerful Women\, a concert with La Caccina
DESCRIPTION:<b>Weird Sisters: Songs of Witches, Magic and Powerful Women</b>

<b>A concert with vocal ensemble <a href="https://lacaccina.org/">La Caccina</a></b>

<strong>Sunday, October 26, 3pm</strong>

<span class="OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">In-person event
At the Evanston History Center
225 Greenwood St, Evanston, IL</span>

Throughout history, women who possessed deep knowledge in subjects like botany, physiology, and medicine were condemned as witches. This concert sets the record straight, celebrating the power of those knowledgeable women and harnessing the magic that lives within us all. <a href="https://www.soyemmy.com/">Emmy C-G</a>, a witch and trauma-informed tarot and akashic records guide, joins us to provide historical context and guide us through the program.

<strong>About the artist</strong>

La Caccina champions and performs diverse, innovative repertoire for women’s voices to engage audiences and inspire the next generation of collaborative musicians. The ensemble finds its namesake in Francesca Caccini, a prolific Baroque composer known for her virtuosic musicality and beautiful singing voice. Following in Caccini’s footsteps, the singers of La Caccina bring a wide range of expertise to the ensemble, enabling them to adapt to a variety of musical styles—from Renaissance madrigals to South African folk songs, and from contemporary pop songs to classical masterworks such as Vivaldi’s Gloria in D and Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols. Since their founding, La Caccina has collaborated with ensembles including the Pavo String Quartet, the DuPage Symphony Orchestra, and bluegrass trio Glass Mountain, and has commissioned and premiered works by Marie-Claire Saindon, Timothy C. Takach, Augusta Read Thomas, Matthew Harris, and Melissa Dunphy, among others.

No matter the music, La Caccina’s expressive, emotional singing highlights the versatility of the treble voice and brings musical excellence, integrity, and honesty to every performance. Learn more about <a href="https://lacaccina.org/">La Caccina</a>.

Between 1975-1979, four major theater companies were created in Evanston, three of which still exist today. An additional 25 theater companies have come and gone. Join <strong>Gloria Bond Clunie,</strong> Founding Artistic Director of Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre, <strong>BJ Jones</strong>, Artistic Director of Northlight Theatre, and <strong>Jennifer Green</strong>, Artistic Director of Piven Theatre, together with theater scholar and author <strong>Mark Larson</strong> and others, as they reflect back on the memories, movements, people, and productions that shaped Evanston theater.
