We Shake! We Shine!

A powerful musical journey from struggle to triumph, We Shake! We Shine! celebrates the legacy of the women’s suffrage movement and the ongoing fight for justice and equality. Originally planned to honor the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, this long-awaited concert by the Atlanta Women’s Chorus blends historic reflection with urgent relevance. Anchored by Joan Szymko’s stirring “Lifting as We Climb,” and featuring songs like “Quiet,” “You Don’t Own Me,” and “Beautiful Noise,” the program uplifts the voices of those who’ve fought—and continue to fight—for freedom, dignity, and recognition. It is both a tribute and a call to action: bold, resonant, and unmissable.
