Hey, I am trying to find dynamite feminist
(mostly) female performers for a festival that we are hosting here in San
Diego
next summer. Do you
know of anyone who might be interested? Especially West Coast folks,
but
everyone is welcome! There is a (small-ish) fee allocated for each
performer and we will of course cover travel & lodging. Here is a
generic version of the letters I have been sending to the candidates.
Let me know if you have any suggestions. and THANK YOU ALL!

Dear Performer,
I am a member of the San Diego Women’s Chorus and the search committee
for the 9th Sister Singers Festival, which we are hosting here in San Diego at SDSU June 22-25, 2006. It will be the 25th anniversary of the Sister
Singers Network.
The Sister Singers Network is a cooperative web of
feminist choruses and ensembles, composers, arrangers, and individual singers
working together to support and enrich the women's choral movement. There
is more information regarding the sister singers at www.sistersingers.net
We are
hoping that you might be interested in being
involved with the Festival as a performer/workshop facilitator. Since
this is the first Sister Since this is the first Sister Singers
Festival being held on the West Coast, we would like to have some of
our wonderful West Coast talent be a part of this event.
We are currently putting together our program and our
hope is that you would be able to give us some suggestions on how you could and
would like to be involved. I would love to talk to you about your possibly
being involved in the Festival.
I hope that this has piqued your interest and that we
will hear from you shortly. Please feel free to call me anytime!
Sincerely,
Dawn R. Levy
