Professional singers from Five Women Performance Ensemble will be on hand to demonstrate and guide participants in group singing, harmony and solo performance. Light refreshments and musical accompaniment provided. FREE FREE on-site parking.
ABOUT FIVE WOMEN PERFORMANCE ENSEMBLE
Five Women Performance Ensemble is a Newark-based collective of women vocalists who are dedicated to the performing arts. The group works with a rotation of performers depending on availability, each of them extremely talented.
In April 2015, five performing artists came together to present an event in celebration of National Poetry Month at the request of the pastor of Focus on Jesus Baptist Church in the South Ward of Newark, NJ. Founder/Artistic Director Celeste A. Bateman went on to develop a series of programs performed at such venues as The Newark Public Library, the Jersey City Free Public Library and Newark Symphony Hall and for a local chapter of the National Council of Negro Women. Performing under the name Five Women, the group presents the works of known and lesser-known women poets, writers, songwriters and playwrights, incorporating poetry, recitations and various genres of music.
