Singing "Songs of the Spirit"

Itasca Community Chorus will present"Songs of the Spirit" Sunday afternoon, April 18 at 3:00 p.m. at he Edge of the Wilderness Performing Arts Center in Bigfork and Thursday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Zion Lutheran Church in Grand Rapids. Cheri Troumbly, Itasca Community Chorus director, reminds us all that "songs of the spirit" call us to laugh and cry while moving toward a stronger, more peaceful place. The concert will do just that as the choir sings folksongs from Israel, USA, and Africa before moving on to a set of jazz songs, and concluding the concert with spirituals. Come, enjoy, and take home with you a greater appreciation for the power of your own "Songs of the Spirit."
