Join us to hear all three choirs sing songs of love, loss and wonder

The Missoula Family of Choirs presents The Stars Touch the Earth—an afternoon of song where voices shimmer, stories unfold, and music brings the heavens a little closer.

Our ensembles weave a musical tapestry that honors the wonder of the natural world and the warmth of community: MPower Voices, led by Malcolm Lowe & Frances Connery, Forte Children’s Choirs, conducted by Brenda Griggs & Bella Smith, and Missoula Community Chorus, directed by Ellen McKenzie.
