The struggle of American women for the right to vote will be dramatized in the Choral Society of Pensacola’s inspiring program "Still Rising," featuring a multimedia performance of Andrea Ramsey’s "Suffrage Cantata."

We'll further explore the concert theme through seven short pieces:
• "Homeland" by Gustav Holst and Randall Stroope
• "Old Grandma," a Canadian folk song arranged by Alice Parker
• "Half the World" by Dale Trumbore (text by Frederick Douglass)
• "Resilience" by Abbie Betinis
• "When the Time Comes" by Melissa Dunphy (text by Ruth Bader Ginsburg)
• "I Am Possibility" by David Von Kampen (text by Becky Boesen
• "Still I Rise" by Rosephanye Powell (with inserted text by Maya Angelou).

Artistic director Peter Steenblik will lead the Society’s ninety-voice chorus along with the University of West Florida (UWF) Concert Choir, narrating actors from UWF's theatre faculty, and an instrumental ensemble including the Capstone String Quartet from the University of Alabama.

The concert will be presented on Friday, March 28 at 7:30 pm and on Saturday, March 29 at 2:00 pm, in the UWF Center for Fine and Performing Arts.
