Join us for an afternoon of music!
Our winter concert takes its theme from Kim André Arnesen’s Flight Song, performed by the Missoula Community Chorus.
The program features MPower Voices and Forte Children’s Choir.
The Missoula Community Chorus will also perform:
Ubi caritas from Quatre Motets sur des thèmes grégoriens by Maurice Duruflé
Nyon Nyon by Jake Runestad
No Time, arranged by Susan Brumfield
Ad Astra by Jacob Narverud
And then it’s time for the holidays!
The Missoula Community Chorus will invite all of you in the audience to sing along in A Holiday Sing-Along, featuring: Deck the Halls • Jingle Bells • O Christmas Tree • We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Continuing the holiday spirit, we’ll perform a wonderfully entertaining version of The 12 Days of Christmas, arranged by Richard Gregory and Ken Purchase, followed by the classic I Love the Winter Weather / I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, arranged by Mac Huff.

All we are, we have found in song:
You have drawn this song from us
Songs of lives unfolding
Fly overhead, cry overhead:
Longing, rising from the song within
Moving like the rise and fall of wings
Hands that shape our calling voice
On the edge of answers
You’ve heard our cry, you’ve known our cry:
Music’s fierce compassion flows from you
The night is restless with the sounds we hear
Is broken, shaken by the cries of pain:
For this is music’s inner voice
Saying, yes, we hear you
All you who cry aloud
And we will fly, answering you:
So our lives sing, sing
Wild we will fly
Wild in spirit we will fly
Like a feather falling from the wing
Fragile as a human voice
Afraid, uncertain
Alive to love, we sing as love
Afraid, uncertain
Yet our flight begins as song
