Honoring the Savannah women who believed To Whom Much is Given, Much is Required and saved our historic downtown through courage & song.

On Saturday, December 13, 2025 at 3pm, Spectra Choir presents Phenomenal Women, a concert honoring the extraordinary group of Savannah women who stood together in the 1950s and 60s to save the city’s historic downtown from demolition. At a time when economic decline and urban renewal threatened to erase Savannah’s architectural heritage, these seven visionaries organized, fundraised, and advocated fiercely for preservation — sparking a movement that secured the survival of the beautiful squares and homes we treasure today.

Through song, story, and community, this concert lifts up their courage, creativity, and leadership, reminding us that the work of building and protecting a city belongs to its people — and that determined women can change the course of history.
