The Crown of the Continent Choir’s upcoming “Power of Kindness” concert will spread joy with a powerful cause.
Inclusivity is a pillar of the volunteer, nonsectarian choir that got the idea for the season finale concert from a shared performance with Whitefish High School students earlier this year.
“That’s always fun, to be able to sing with the young people, and for them to realize that, even if I don’t go into music when I graduate, there’s still opportunities to sing or be involved in community music,” said Leanne Roberts, vice president of the choir’s board.
Each concert throughout the season adds new songs to the program, building until the choir gets to the final concert of the season on Sunday, May 3 at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish. Doors open at 3 p.m. and the show starts at 4 p.m. The cost is free with a suggested donation.
