Missoula Rising Stars
A community youth talent showcase
Missoula Rising Stars is Missoula’s premier youth talent showcase, created in partnership with the Missoula Family of Choirs and the Rotary Club of Missoula Downtown. Together, we are building a joyful, inclusive event that celebrates young performers and strengthens youth access to the arts.
A Partnership Rooted in Youth Development
The Missoula Family of Choirs brings decades of experience in youth music education, performance training, and artistic mentorship. Rotary contributes its long-standing leadership in service, youth empowerment, and community-building. This collaboration ensures that Rising Stars is not only a showcase, but a youth development initiative that nurtures confidence, leadership, and creativity.
Why Rising Stars Matters
Funds raised through Missoula Rising Stars directly support MFC’s youth programming, including:
Choir scholarships for families needing financial support
Future summer camp development
Expanded youth choir offerings
High‑quality production and educational programming
These investments help young people discover their voices, grow as artists, and participate fully in Missoula’s vibrant arts community.
Ways to participate

Sponsor: Businesses and organizations can support youth arts access and leadership development.
Advertise: Families and businesses can purchase program ads to celebrate performers or promote services.

Inspiring community through music
Welcome to Missoula Family of Choirs—a new name and a new look to reflect who we’ve become.
What began in 2001 as Missoula Community Chorus, Inc. has grown into a vibrant nonprofit home for three ensembles: Forte Children’s Choir, Missoula Community Chorus and MPower Voices.
Our new identity honors our three ensembles. The name and logo celebrate a community of communities—intergenerational, inclusive, and united by the belief that singing together strengthens the human spirit.
Our new logo reflects this wonderful place we call home—featuring the western meadowlark, black‑capped chickadee and western bluebird, three beloved Montana songbirds whose familiar calls embody the joy we create when we sing together.
Embrace the power of music
We are committed to welcoming every voice, creating accessible musical experiences, and building connection through shared artistry.
The story continues—with every rehearsal, every performance, and every singer who joins our family.
Thank you 2025-26 Season & Concert Sponsors
