Voices from the Heart in Portsmouth

The 200 women singers of Voices from the Heart will help locals get in the holiday spirit with a concert at South Church in Portsmouth on Saturday, Nov. 19. Called “Now I Walk in Beauty,” the show will feature music from around the world.

The concert takes its title from a Native American Hopi chant, which the singers will repeat as they enter the hall: “Now I walk in beauty, beauty is before me, beauty is behind me, above and below me.”

The evening will also feature work by The Wailin’ Jennys and the Buena Vista Social Club, Latin and gospel favorites, and a South African chant accompanied by an African drumming troupe. Instrumental accompaniment will come from multi-instrumentalist Randy Armstrong, guitarist Jon Booth and bassist Kent Allyn.

The concert takes place from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at South Church, 292 State St., Portsmouth. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door, available at www.voicesfromtheheart.org.
