Singers of New and Ancient Music (SONAM) is a chorus committed to creating high-quality sacred and secular music and giving back to the community. Their mission is to make excellent choral music that supports local non-profits through benefit concerts.
SONAM was established in 2012. The group consists of about 20 talented singers from central North Carolina, led by conductor Allan Friedman and accompanist Jane Lynch. As a volunteer organization, SONAM is sustained entirely by donations of time and resources.
SONAM is presenting their winter concert on February 1, 2025, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., at First Presbyterian Church of Durham, 305 E Main Street, Durham, North Carolina.
The group will sing about powerful women with music and texts written, inspired, and conducted by women from South Africa, Lithuania, Palestine, Mexico, America, and more.
Donations will be accepted at the door in lieu of tickets. All proceeds benefit the Durham Crisis Response Center, a nonprofit organization that works with the community to end domestic, sexual and family violence and human trafficking through advocacy, education, support and prevention
