Don’t miss this dynamic East Coast premiere of choral songs about Biblical women! Alicia Jo Rabins – a musician, composer and Torah teacher whose work the Atlantic calls “a blessing” – joins sonic forces with 95 singers from the award-winning Camas High School Choir (Washington State), plus a top-tier rock musicians and a string trio, in a powerful concert integrating Biblical women’s stories with song. I Was a Desert: Songs of the Matriarchs is a gorgeous, richly textured multimedia performance that builds upon Rabins’ long-running Girls in Trouble song cycle to celebrate the stories of women in Jewish myth and the hidden places where their lives overlap with ours today.
