Presented by ORLANDO SINGS, Harmonia’s STAND TALL traces the journey of the women’s suffrage movement from first calls for justice to the ongoing spirit of empowerment—beginning with Alexandra Olsavsky’s What Happens When a Woman? and closing with Rosephanye Powell’s rousing Still I Rise.

The heart of the program is Andrea Ramsey’s groundbreaking Suffrage Cantata, a five-movement choral-oratorio for SSA chorus, soloists, piano, string quartet, narration, and percussion. Written after extensive research, Ramsey interweaves original music with historical speeches, letters, banners, and songs of influential figures such as Susan B. Anthony, Ida B. Wells, Sojourner Truth, and Mary Church Terrell.
