“Find your voice, and inspire others to find theirs.” – Stephen Covey

The human voice has the power to move us in many ways.  When many voices sing together, they create harmonies that are impossible alone.  And when a group of women’s voices join in song, the experience can be almost magical.  This episode features women’s vocal ensembles with music across the centuries.
