Peninsula Women's Chorus
The Peninsula Women's Chorus is an award-winning female choir based at Palo Alto, California.
==History==
In 1966, after a decade of involvement with local musical ensembles, Marjorie Rawlins of Palo Alto founded the American Association of University Women Midpeninsula Chorus, with 17 members. She soon recognised the limitations of working within the AAUW graduates' organisation, and abandoned the affiliation; the choir was subsequently renamed the University Women’s Chorus. The principles established from the outset were that, although the choir was informal, its aims would be ambitious. In particular, members were expected to sing all pieces from memory, and the repertoire was to be ambitious, with many pieces sung in foreign languages.
When Mrs Rawlins left in 1975, the members, by then increased to over 50, appointed 25-year-old Patricia (Patty) Hennings as their new director. Under her leadership the choir, soon rechristened the Peninsula Women's Chorus to emphasize its inclusive recruiting policy (though it maintained an association with Foothill College), continued to increase its standards, and〔(Peninsula Women's Chorus Turns 40! ) Palo Alto CA, ''Peninsula Women's Chorus newsletter'' (Fall 2006)〕 in 1982 was selected by Stanford University for a project to record vocal scores written from memory in a Second World War prison camp on Sumatra by Margaret Dryburgh and Norah Chambers, as recorded in the TV documentary ''Song of Survival''.〔Roger Emanuels (Song of Survival ) ''KUSP Review'', vol.4, no.5 (Dec. 1983)〕 This was such a success that the Chorus performed in Europe in 1984.
Patricia Hennings, after suffering for several years from cancer, died in December 2001;〔Suzanne Herel (Obituary: Patricia Hennings -- Women's Chorus head ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'' (2002-01-04)〕 for a short time her place was taken by Karen Robinson, until the current director, Argentinian-born Martín Benvenuto, was appointed in fall 2003.
