Missoula Community Chorus, May 15, 2005

MISSOULA COMMUNITY CHORUS   Nearly 100 singers from Missoula and surrounding communities participate in the Missoula Community Chorus.  Rehearsals are held Thursday nights from September through December and again from January through May.  We perform in at least two concerts each year.    Past performance highlights include collaborations with the UCC Flute Ensemble, the Stickney Drummers, and the Missoula Community String Ensemble.  We have performed at Missoula's First Night Celebrations, and First Friday in Stevensville.    The Missoula Community Chorus was organized over the summer of 2001 and began rehearsals September 13 that year.  Our first public appearance was at Caras Park one week later, at Missoula's Memorial Service for 9/11.  Those circumstances only increased our commitment to creating community through music-making.
