Chamber choir Roots in the Sky will present a trio of upcoming concerts in celebration of the holiday season. Visions of a Child performances will take place December 20th–22nd. It will premiere at Bozeman’s Hope Lutheran Church on Friday at 7:30pm, followed by a Saturday show at Big Sky Chapel at 8pm, then closing with a 2pm Sunday matinee at Holy Rosary Church in Bozeman.
The holiday performances will provide a wintery reflection on the Nativity, childhood and parent-child relationships. The program will include: Seek him that maketh the seven stars by Jonathan Dove; Winter’s Vow by Juhi Bansal; In Winter’s House by Joanna Marsh; Drop Down, Ye Heavens by Anna Lapwood; Visions of a Child (A Pueblo Lullaby) by Jerod Impichchaaha’ Tate; Seinte Mari moder milde by James MacMillan; and Mass Transmission by Mason Bates. Matthew O’Sullivan will join on organ.

Roots in the Sky works to unite the best vocal artists, from a multitude of backgrounds, through the presentation of historical and contemporary choral music in the greater Gallatin Valley of Montana. The ensemble 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. •
