Crown choir holds spring concert

The Crown of the Continent Choir will present its 11th annual spring concert on Sunday, May 5 at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.

The concert theme this year is Walk in Beauty featuring heartwarming and impressive lyrics. Musical selections include works by Lauridsen, Rutter, Runstad, Naylor, Wailin’ Jennys, Billy Joel, and many others.  

The non-auditioned Crown Choir welcomes singers of all ages and experiences to share the joys of choral music. The mission is to sing for fun and to serve the community. Crown Choir performances are free to the public and all, but the spring finale is a benefit concert for local charities and community causes. Last season’s concerts raised more than $7,000 for area nonprofits including Mountain View Mennonite Church, Sparrow’s Nest, Flathead Warming Center, Samaritan House, and the historic St. Ignatius Mission restoration project. This year the choir was honored to receive the annual Peace Quilt Award, which recognizes individuals and organizations who strive to make our community and world a better place.
