Hi everyone! Nini and Kristen will be performing for this amazing cause on May 7. Join us at the Tilles Center on Long Island in support of Joanie Accolla and her organization Healing Headbands, which is making such a huge difference in the lives of so many kids.
Our very special guests, the girl singer songwriters from the JAMS program based in CT, are working hard to prepare for our show together on February 15, 2019 at Norwalk Music Hall! If you haven't purchased tickets yet to this event, proceeds benefit Girls Rising! We will be awarding grants to inner city kids from the KEYS program, as well as featuring these up and coming stars from the JAMS program! See you there!
Buy tickets now for a very special Antigone Rising concert at Norwalk Music Hall located at Norwalk City Hall. Proceeds from the concert will benefit the band's nonprofit, Girls Rising and also include kids from the JAMS and KEY programs - helping inner city and underserved kids explore music and arts!
Girls Scouts of CT will also be at the event earning badges and helping out.
It promises to be a fantastic and memorable evening.
Several Girls Rising outreaches have been scheduled around the North Shore School District this winter including workshops at Glen Head Elementary, Glenwood Landing Elementary and a Distrct wide event taking place at North Shore High School. All outreaches are scheduled to take place during February and March, 2019. Antigone Rising will be joined by WNBA All-Star and NY Liberty Hall of Famer, Sue Wicks at these events.
HOLA! On Feb 27th, 2018 we were fortunate to visit with 600 amazing students at the U of Guadalajra, Mexico! It was exciting to spend time in such a beautiful place and to be welcomed with open arms. We were impressed with their questions and encouraged by such a rich and diverse cultural exchange. Special guest musician Natalia Zukerman and IT maven Christy Ganc (ESPN) helped round out our program.
We had the best day with the kids of Sea Cliff Elementary this past Friday, February 9, 2018. And it was made even more amazing with our special guest moderator, WNBA All-Star Sue Wicks! Check out more photos from the outreach on our photos page!
We are thrilled to be guests at this year's Out & Equal Summit at the Philadelphia Convention Center from Oct 9-Oct 12. Not only will we be performing at the Opening Brunch on Tuesday morning at 11am, we will also present our very own Girls Rising Breakout Panel Discussion with panel moderator and Out&Equal Board member, Amy Hanneman. After that, Kristen will speak on a featured panel discussion about Intersectionality, where she will bring her unique perspective on ways in which sexuality, gender, race, and other identity categories shaped Antigone Rising's experiences as well as how AR has shared those experiences with people around the world through Girls Rising Outreach programs. And finally, Kristen, Cathy and Nini will spend a few days on the convention exhibit floor talking to corporations about how Girls Rising can align with them to bring about change in the coming year!
It will be a busy week. We suggest you follow along on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook so you don't miss a thing!
