Our Director - Joanne Connolly

Joanne Connolly, founding director, formed Voices from the Heart in the fall of 1995. Joanne was inspired to start Voices after attending a workshop with Ysaye Barnwell of Sweet Honey in the Rock.

Connolly says, "It was amazing to do away with written music, and work together with other women to learn parts and create such soulful sounds! I wanted to recreate that experience in Portsmouth, NH. The response to the group has far exceeded my wildest dreams! These women and their singing have given me great joy!"
