The Arts Council is please to be bringing Roots in the Sky back to Big Sky for its annual holiday choral celebration. The performance will take place on Saturday, December 21, a wintery reflection on the Nativity, childhood, and parent-child relationships. Tickets are $10 for students (ages 13-17), and $25 for those 18 and over, and free for children ages 12 and under. Doors open at 7:30 and the hour-long concert begins at 8.
With performances described as “the best choral singing we’ve ever heard in Bozeman (or almost anywhere),” Roots in the Sky has established itself as Montana’s premier chamber choir through a commitment to presenting thoughtfully curated performances of choral works – especially compositions by living composers and historically marginalized voices – that respond to the complexities of life in the 21st century and the world in which we are living. An amateur-turned-professional ensemble, the roster of Roots in the Sky includes professionals working in law, healthcare and wellness, education, business, engineering, and music.
Sought-after for collaborations, Roots in the Sky has appeared in performance with the GRAMMY Award-winning chamber choir The Crossing, Baroque Music Montana, Jitro Czech Children’s Choir, and many of the Gallatin Valley’s finest instrumentalists and has performed across the state of Montana at venues including the Tippet Rise Arts Center, in Red Lodge as part of Music from the Beartooths, at the Bozeman Public Library as part of the Montana Chamber Music Society’s “Noon Notes” series for elementary students, as the chorus of a contemporary chamber opera at the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center in Big Sky, at First Presbyterian Church of Bozeman as part of their Mainly Music season, at Mass in the Cathedral of St. Helena, and in concert in Big Sky, Helena, Kalispell, and Missoula.
