DESCRIPTION:The Sacred Summer Music Series invites choirs from around Bay A
 rea to Stanford Memorial Church each year to share their gifts and talents 
 in a town and gown worship that celebrates the rich cultural heritages of t
 he Bay Area. Each week we will host a different choir with sacred readings 
 and prayers in worship and rejoice together in our Summer of Sacred Joy!\n\
 nSpring Women’s Choir was established in October 2017 by artistic director 
 Wenbo Deng. The choir embodies over two decades of his dedicated choral edu
 cation. Members are from diverse backgrounds\, and most are first generatio
 n immigrants from China. Mandarin is the first language\, therefore many of
  the Chinese songs are as part of the regular practice sessions\, in additi
 on to many different languages as well. The choir gathers weekly to celebra
 te the beauty of choral singing\, exploring genres like religious\, romanti
 c\, folk\, and pop in multiple languages. In its brief history\, the choir 
 actively participated in various concerts and hosted events\, earning accol
 ades in music competitions. Notably\, the choir consistently secured first 
 place in several international music competitions in the United States. The
  choir's outstanding performance at the 2023 Idaho International Choral Fes
 tival garnered international acclaim. During Sing for Gold 2024 (World Chor
 al Cup in Spain Barcelona)\, Spring Women’s Choir represented Team USA and 
 received the Gold award. The Spring Women's Choir believes in the unifying 
 and soul-healing power of music\, leaving a lasting impact with their harmo
 nious voices and commitment to musical diversity.
