Anna Crusis Women's Choir
The Anna Crusis Women's Choir is the oldest existing feminist choir in the United States, and is considered to be a founder of the North American LGBT choral movement. It was established by Catherine Roma in 1975 in Philadelphia, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.〔 Including both lesbian and straight women,〔 Anna Crusis is the earliest formed of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses (GALA)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://galachoruses.org/about/history )〕 and the first women's chorus to become a member of GALA.
The choir is named, not for a person, but for ''anacrusis'', a musical term for "the unaccented – or 'feminine' – upbeat that sets the stage for a downbeat." The choir focuses on music by, for and about women, and has commissioned pieces from a variety of composers. It also recovers and performs historical pieces by women composers.

Anna Crusis has a strong educational and social mission, performing music from all over the world and addressing issues of peace, justice and equality both on stage and off.〔〔 They have a long history of supporting LGBT issues, frequently performing with other groups at events such as International Women's Day and Philly Pride.
An amateur community choir, performing a cappella, Anna Crusis places a strong emphasis on inclusiveness, welcoming female singers of all ages and sexual orientations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://galachoruses.org/membership/member-spotlight/anna-crusis )〕 The choir has included both physically impaired and hearing impaired singers, and traditionally includes a sign language interpreter at its concerts.〔 Although singers must audition, the choir includes singers of all levels of musical training ranging from those who do not read music, to those with professional training.〔
