Join us and support the Crown of the Continent Choir in our Season 14 Finale.
Silent Auction and a raffle for general admission tickets to the 2026 Under the Big Sky music festival, a $1,200 value!
Music, rhythm and a sense of connection will take center stage as the Crown of the Continent Choir closes its 14th season with its finale concert, The Power of Kindness, on Sunday, May 3 at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish. This performance also serves as a fundraiser to support the choir’s continued work in the community.
Under the direction of Craig Thomas Naylor, the program features a mix of music centered on themes of kindness and belonging, with selections by Joni Mitchell, John Muir and Ola Gjeilo. Accompanist Eunhwa Park will perform two piano solos featuring works by Felix Mendelssohn. A highlight of the program is the African Zulu song Inkosi Namandla, a traditional Tshwane church song arranged by Michael Barrett and accompanied by guest drummer ensemble Ashè. Featured artists include Iona McMillan on djembe, Robert Sherrick on solo djembe, and Julie Sherrick on dun duns, adding dynamic rhythm and energy to the performance. The event also includes a silent auction and raffle, with the grand prize of two tickets to the Under the Big Sky Music Festival.
The Crown of the Continent Choir is a joyful and inclusive community choir in the Flathead Valley. Through free concerts and benefit performances, the choir has contributed over $25,000 to local charities and nonprofits across northwest Montana.
Join us for a joyful season finale celebrating music, community, and kindness. The silent auction begins at 3:00 p.m., followed by the concert at 4:00 p.m. A suggested donation of $10 is welcome.
