Welcome to the Women's Sacred Music Project!
Welcome to the Women's Sacred Music Project!
As a 501(c)3 not-for-profit entity, the WSMP asks for your generosity to support our cause of advancing women's achievements in sacred music. In order to fund comprehensive projects like Resounding Voices, including hymns which are Jewish, Christian, and stretching the boundaries, the WSMP has raised over $20,000 through grants and individual donations. Your continued support of this groundbreaking mission helps us bring many more musical opportunities to women.
Here is new Hymns by Women issue, which first appeared in the July-August Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians. It is reprinted with permission.
New Project, New Collaborations Underway!
WSMP is awarded a $2000 grant by the Association of Anglican Musicians and $1500 from the IDEA committee of the American Guild of Organists.
In support of our new anthem project. We are so grateful!
The WSMP Board has approved a project to co-commission anthems for children, teens, and adult choirs. We seek interested congregations and community choirs who will match the cost of the commissioned work and perform the finished score. The cost of a single 3-4 minute anthem is approximately $500-1000 depending on the composer. Would you like to contribute to expanding the repertory of sacred anthems by women?
Thank you for your support!
