SACO  — Women in Harmony, Portland’s 60-voice women’s chorus, presents its winter concert, “Hope,” on Jan. 18 and Jan. 19 at Woodfords Congregational Church in Portland.

The chorus includes members from Saco, Scarborough, South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and other towns throughout southern Maine.

The concert will explore how we can turn the tide towards hope by withstanding tribulation and resisting hatred together. Song topics range from survival of abuse – as women tell their stories and vow “No more” in Me Too — to the Underground Railroad for escaping slaves, recounted in Harriet Tubman.

Other notable pieces include Ruth Huber’s Signs, a choral setting of the signs people carried at the Women’s March on Washington in 2017; Hope by Ysaye Barnwell (formerly of Sweet Honey in the Rock); and Dolly Parton’s Light of a Clear Blue Morning, as arranged by Craig Hella Johnson.

A feminist chorus now 20 years old, Women in Harmony stands up for social justice and aims to exert a positive impact on the world through its traditions of song and community initiative.

Performances take place at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 18 and at 4 p.m. Jan. 19 at the church, located at 202 Woodford St. in Portland. Tickets are available at Longfellow Books and Starbird Music in Portland, and Nonesuch Books in South Portland, as well as online at www.wihmaine.org and at the door.

Tickets are $12 in advance, $15/door, $10 student/senior.
