The Atlanta Women’s Chorus proudly presents We Shake! We Shine!, a powerful and unforgettable concert experience that celebrates the enduring fight for women’s suffrage and broader human rights.

Originally conceived to honor the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, this long-awaited performance transforms a postponed dream into a radiant reality—one that blends historical reverence with bold, contemporary resonance. At its heart is Joan Szymko’s stirring Lifting as We Climb, a choral masterpiece inspired by the words and courage of women who demanded justice not just for themselves, but for all. Alongside a rich and diverse repertoire—from the empowering pulse of Beautiful Noise to the quiet strength of Breathe and the unapologetic defiance of You Don’t Own Me—this concert invites audiences on an emotional journey through resilience, resistance, and renewal. We Shake! We Shine! is more than a performance—it’s a call to remember, to feel, and to act.

Join us, and be moved by the music, the message, and the momentum of a movement.
