ARTS Pick: WinterSongs

Billed as a day of “joyful sharing, support and empowerment,” the second annual WinterSongs brings together 200 female singers from Charlottesville, Albemarle County and the University of Virginia for an afternoon of sisterhood and music, to raise money for the Shelter for Help in Emergency. Burley Middle School choral director Craig Jennings, the event’s organizer, says he hopes the show will give new meaning to the phrase “girl power” and be “one of those oh-my-gosh [times] that will go in everyone’s lifetime scrapbooks.”

Saturday 2/27. Donations accepted at the door, 5pm. Monticello High School, 1400 Independence Way. 244-3100.
