The Assembly of Light women’s choir is a ramshackle collection of about twenty women from Providence, RI. They’ve been stealing hours to sing together since late 2008, when composer and singer Chrissy Wolpert invited a few women to her apartment to sing some songs she’d been working on. It went well. They kept coming back.

The Assembly of Light is a frequently changing “cast” of women from various backgrounds and degrees of vocal experience and training. The group is about taking shape on its own terms, forming itself without pretense, and bringing on brightness through dark music.
