Choral Society offers two spring concerts

Mission Valley Choral Society celebrates Spring with “Music in Our Hearts” concerts, 1 p.m. Saturday, May 10, at the St. Ignatius Mission and 4 p.m. Sunday, May 11, in Polson at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

Longfellow’s quote, “Music is the universal language of mankind,” is exemplified in the 11 songs selected by Director Cathy Gillhouse to provide inspiring toe-tapping entertainment. The music list includes a traditional Newfoundland folk song, two songs based on famous poems, an iconic song from the musical “Wicked,” several popular rock songs, and spirituals and hymns.

Concerts are free and open to all. A free-will offering will be taken on Saturday to help the choir with music expenses and Sunday’s offering will benefit Helping Hands of the Mission Valley.

Information is available on the MVCS website, missionvalleychoralsociety.org, and Facebook page, or by calling 406-261-3304 or 406-260-6103.
