Voices is finalizing details for their upcoming fall benefit concert, scheduled for September 6 at Wadsworth Auditorium in Newnan. The concert brings together talent from the Southern Arc, including the female solo ensemble Zaphyra; the Southern Nights Chorale – a men’s precision a capella ensemble; and Matthew Roberts, a young and talented violinist.

This season’s first more intimate production unites the talent in solo and ensemble combinations, offering, as it has now become the trademark of this performing arts organization, an eclectic amalgamation of music. The program blends soundtrack and musicals selections from “Cold Mountain,” “Evita,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Oliver,” and “Porgy and Bess;” classical evergreens such as Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro” and Delibes’ “Flower Duet” from the opera “Lakme;” as well as a tribute of pieces made popular by Celtic Woman, Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli.

Hair design is being developed by Carlos Salon in Peachtree City. “Part of our intension is to engage businesses from The Southern Arc in a creative capacity,” explained Pia Ugarte, artistic director of Voices. “So we approached Carlos Salon to join us in this adventure and they enthusiastically agreed.”

Piano Crafters in Newnan will be contributing the use of a grand piano, which Ugarte said “will add a magic touch to the performance.” Zaphyra’s wardrobe, obtained at David’s Bridal, has received the Voices touch, another staple of these performances. The Post Concert “Meet and Greet” reception is being sponsored by Ten East Washington. This prime Newnan restaurant will helping crown the night with some delectable platters.
