For 140 years, the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) has helped protect and nurture women in need of assistance, from victims of domestic violence or sexual assault to those in need of training to enter the workforce. The Western Massachusetts YWCA chapter hosts an anniversary concert with the a cappella group Sweet Honey in the Rock this weekend. The group's name comes from a passage in the Book of Psalms which tells of a land so rich that honey flows from the rocks.
June 28, $18.68, 7:30 p.m., Springfield Symphony Hall, 34 Court St., Springfield, (413) 788-7033.
