January 2026 Concert


Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at The Zia Singers's January 2026 concert event. It's an experience like no other, and we want you to be there!
​
Our upcoming January concert, VOICES OF LIFE, VOICES OF LIGHT, celebrates music exclusively written by female composers featuring the compelling cantata Everyday Wonders: The Girl from Aleppo by Cecilia McDowell and a world premiere piece, "A Wave That Rocks Me", by Santa Fe composer (and Zia Singer), Susan Anders.
​
The centerpiece work, Everyday Wonders: The Girl from Aleppo by Cecilia McDowall, describes the stunning 16-month journey of Nujeen Mustafa, a Kurdish teenager with cerebral palsy. She was seeking asylum from Syria and made her way from Aleppo through eight countries, finally arriving in Germany, pushed in her wheelchair by her older sister Nasrine.
​
We're thrilled you will join us for our women-powered 2026 Season!
