These women combine more musical, creative, rhythmic and harmonic skills
than you can shake a rattle at!!
I LOVE singing with them-- their music is varied, complex yet totally accessible,
and FULL of spirit and wisdom.
"Skilled song leaders, beautiful harmonies. Feel like singing?"

Poet Stephen Wing & Nature Photographer Luz Wright have a beautiful book WILD ATLANTA: Greenspaces & Nature Preserves of the City in the Forest. Last year we spotlighted the poem and photographs about Woodlands Garden in Decatur.
This time we are turning our sights to Arabia Mountain, and have planned a hike interspersed with readings from "Bedrock Rising," Stephen's Arabia poem Luz' gorgeous enlarged photos, and some impromptu singing inspired by the mountain. Join us for a gentle, art-filled Sunset Hike!

All Singing: The Elise Witt Songbook
58 original songs arranged for solo and community singing
“Elise’s provocative songs ask you to think, to act, to enjoy, to fully engage in life. She invites you to stretch not only your voice, but your expectations and assumptions.”
~ Terry Garthwaite, Joy of Cooking, Natural Rhythms, composer, concert artist
"A beautiful and breathtaking songbook in its variety of wonderful songs, its scope of musical styles and subjects, its accessible and lovely artistic design, and its charming stories about each piece, as well as about Elise's remarkable journey through her musical life. Elise's brilliant artistry shines through these pages!"
~ Joanne Hammil, composer, performer, choral director
