Deadline to register to perform: Thursday, March 26, at 11:59 PM (ET)
PMN is hosting our third annual online concert in honor of Women’s History Month. Join other PMN singers, songwriters and poets to share your vision for women’s rights, peace, and justice through song!
Women’s History Month traces its origins back to the first Women’s Day March in 1909, organized by socialist women in New York City to amplify the call for women’s rights and to honor the memory of the city’s garment workers’ strikes. Two years later, the International Conference of Socialist Women established International Women’s Day, now celebrated in over 80 countries worldwide. It has become an annual day of radical activism for women’s rights and against war. In the United States, the day has expanded into Women’s History Week (1980) and eventually into Women’s History Month (1987).
By registering for the event on this page, you have a chance to make a donation to support PMN's work of sustaining a vibrant and diverse community space in which music is a catalyst for a just and peaceful world. When you register, you also get access to the Zoom Meeting info, which is a somewhat different viewing experience than the free livestream.
Contact Joanie Calem if you have any questions <joaniecalem@gmail.com>
PERFORMERS (TBA):
How to Participate
Using the button on the left side of this web page, PMN members and invited artists can register to share a song or a poem and/or to be part of the audience for this event. After registering, you receive an e-mail message containing the Zoom Meeting link. Due to time constraints and a vibrant community of performers keen to participate (400 active PMN members in total), it isn't always possible to include every interested performer in the final line up. In the event that not everyone performs, we'll make a wait list. Most people perform live, but we also welcome pre-recorded videos, immediately preceded by a live introduction.
Technical Orientation Session: 45 minutes before showtime @6:15pm (ET) / 3:15pm (PT).
Performers are invited to a technical orientation session, 45 minutes before showtime, where we discuss and practice how to get the best sound when doing a musical performance on Zoom. Each performer has a chance to sing a verse of a song and then receive feedback on ways to improve the audio quality. Artists new to Zoom are strongly encouraged to attend the tech orientation, because doing so will build your confidence in using these tools. The audio quality that listeners hear of your live performance depends on the equipment you have and how you use it. Check out this great resource for performers wanting to get their best audio quality when playing on Zoom. It comes from our friends at Folk Alliance Region Midwest: https://www.farmfolk.org/zoom-performer-toolbox/
