This is a group of women of all ages who love to sing and understand the positive role music can play in our young. We do a Benefit Concert once a year to raise money for Grants to schools and orgainizations in the East Bay Area to promote music learning and appreciation for students. We, the singers, have a fun time singing, dancing and sharing a part of our lives with each other and the students get a boost to keep their music education going so they too can learn the many reasons that music can help them throughout their lives. Music has always played a big part in my life and I like to think that, while I am having such a great time being in The Distaff Singers, that I am also helping the next generation learn the great differnce music can make.
Having a voice has never been more inviting and benefiting such a good cause--music education scholarships for students in the East Bay. Music is healing for me and proven self-care when practiced with regularity and with kindred spirits. That is the core of Distaff Singers going strong since 1937. I am at home with a group that loves to sing and share our voices. Distaff Singers welcomes women of all ages and backgrounds and encourages friendship, collaboration, volunteerism and achievement. Leadership from uber-talented Artistic Director, Tina Harrington is warm, unwavering, inspired and playful. We enjoy creating via body and soul-- our yearly benefit concert. Members return year-after-year and become inspirations. For those reasons, Distaff Singers is a great Non-profit.
