An ensemble of musicians from different parts of the globe — Women of the World — will appear in Raymond on March 19, courtesy of Sunday Afternoon Live. The performance takes place at the Raymond Theatre — 323 Third St.

The international group performs original and traditional folk music with a contemporary twist, providing audiences with an experience through chants, storytelling, dance, mouth percussion and improvisation. Natives of Japan, India, Italy and the United States, the four vocalists explore sounds, rhythms and musical vocabulary from all over the world. Women of the World vocalists are Ayumi Ueda, Annette Philip, Débo Ray and Giorgia Renosto.

Grammy Award-winning artist Bobby McFerrin describes the group as “beautiful, spirited, loving… wonderful.” In 2014, the group won honors as Harmony Sweepstake A cappella champions.

Women of the World has carried its message of unity, wisdom, respect and joy to Carnegie Hall, Boston Symphony Hall — and now to Raymond.

Tickets for the 2 p.m. event are $15 on the day of performance or $12 in advance at Raymond Pharmacy, South Bend Pharmacy and the Raymond Theatre. Sponsors are the L.V. & Stella Raymond Foundation and Security State Bank, Ena Bale, Sherry Aust, Les and Vivian Edersheim and Janet Furfiord in memory of Don Furfiord.
