Words by Mary Oliver:

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Wild Geese

Founded in 1989, the Night Owls are the official a cappella group of Bryn Mawr College, a women's college located in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania (just outside Philadelphia). The Night Owls host concerts several times each semester and frequently perform at campus-wide events, including college traditions, inaugurations, admissions events, and more.

The music we cover spans across many genres, from alternative to pop to folk.  All of our songs are original arrangements by group members.
