WomenSing is thrilled to announce an exciting large-scale commission by renowned composer, Shawn Kirchner.

Inspired by the album Folkjul, a Christmas suite influenced by Swedish folk traditions, WomenSing’s artistic director, Ofer dal Lal, invited Mr. Kirchner to dream up a concert-length American “folk Yule”.The work features a combination of Mr. Kirchner’s instrumental improvisations and carol settings from American song and spiritual traditions. Mr. Kirchner has woven these carols and songs into a dramatic arc which tells of the return of light after dark times.

Beyond Active Opens in Danville


166 E. Prospect Ave, Danville

The boutique Beyond Active opened recently in Danville. Check out their online selection here.

From their website:

This crazy journey started almost three years ago in Danville, California. As a mom of three children, I set out to find a purpose. When I was approached by a friend to take what she started and make it something bigger, I jumped on it! My passion for working out, fitness and shopping and activewear, all came into one love. Beyond Active is a place to find everything you love about women, men, and children’s activewear and wellness!

Bierhaus Opens in Downtown Walnut Creek


1360 Locust St, Walnut Creek

The Oakland-based German-inspired restaurant and beer hall Bierhaus opens for dinner today in downtown Walnut Creek where Lark Creek used to be. Inside is quite spacious with a warm ambiance highlighted with wood tones and German signage throughout the main area as well as the nearby bar and retail bottle shop. The outdoor patio area is expansive, a perfect, dog-friendly spot to hang out with friends and family.

Food-wise I enjoyed the various sausages as well as warm pretzels with German mustard and Belgian fries. Accompanied with German beers such as a Marzen and Pilsner made for an enjoyable dining experience that will bring me back with my family for sure. Note that they have over, “20 imported, local beers and ciders on tap”. Check out their food menu here and beer menu here.
