MISSION VALLEY — Mission Valley Choral Society Director Christian Bumgarner is directing his last concerts in Montana on Palm Sunday weekend — 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 1, at the Mission in St. Ignatius and 4 p.m. Sunday, April 2, at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Polson. Christian, with Karla Gallatin as accompanist, will lead the choir in 10 varied musical selections from “Ave Maria” to a medley from “Les Miserables.”
A spaghetti supper will be served immediately following the Sunday concert in the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church basement.
The 90-minute concerts are free and welcoming to all. Free-will offerings will be taken at each concert. Saturday’s donations help the choir with music expense, and donations from the Sunday concert and meal will support Helping Hands of Mission Valley. In his 35 years of directing choirs in the valley, Christian has led six choirs and founded three. He has either sung in or directed the Mission Valley Choral Society for about 30 years. Christian and his wife Viktra are leaving Polson in May to live in Idaho closer to grandchildren. For more information call 406-261-3304 or 406- 370-2076.
