COMMUNITY CONCERT SERIES TO FEATURE MEZZO SOPRANO

Brenda Boozer, a mezzo soprano, will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday at Willett Hall as part of the Portsmouth Community Concert series.

Boozer's performance will include two Scottish airs, ``Loch Lomond'' and ``Flow Gently Sweet Afton,'' arranged by Ford Lallersted, as well as ``Rident la calm,'' by Mozart, and ``The Color of the Wind,'' from the Disney movie Pocahontas.

The concert soloist has performed in opera houses around the world and with the orchestras of Philadelphia, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Seattle, and the National Symphony.

Tickets for the concert can be purchased as part of Portsmouth Community Concert season tickets. Prices are $35 for adults, $17 for students, and $75 for family. Tickets will be available at the Willett Hall Box Office the evening of the performance.

The two remaining concerts in the series are the Vienna Boys Choir Jan. 13 and the New Xavier Cugat Orchestra April 8. ILLUSTRATION: Brenda Boozer
