This musical experience is filled with memories, dreams, hope, and the promise of love, blending nostalgia with contemporary flair and performed with live musicians, including the Stephen Evans Cello Choir with Joe Magdalena II.
Director Erin Fishler infuses passion into each piece from her vast performance and teaching experience, including recording backing vocals on a track of the Grammy-nominated album, “With Love” by Miami arranger Jeremy Fox. Accompanist Rebecca Hass contributes skill, talent, and experience as an accomplished pianist, teacher, and composer to elevate every performance.
Stephen Evans, former accompanist for the DWC and director of the cello choir since 2003, has contributed to several musical ensembles, string quartets, and local symphonies.

Now in our 82nd year, the DWC thrives as a secular choir that continues to attract women from around the East Bay who share a passion for spreading joy through music.
