Spirit Song to perform Sunday

Spiritsong, international touring choir with members from Creston, BC, Coeur d’Alene, Sandpoint, and Bonners Ferry will share highlights of their recent tour in “Costa Rica: the songs, stories, and images” in performances in Bonners Ferry on Sunday June 17 at 2 p.m. at the Pearl Theater.

Entrance is free but donations will be gratefully received to help cover music and performance venue costs. On Sunday June 17, the cafe at the Pearl Theater will open at 1 p.m. for a lunch of typical Costa Rican fare.

Spiritsong received standing ovations on their tour of Costa Rica from May 27- June 7 performing in churches, schools, and for a community educational/arts organization.

The concerts here will feature the music from their tour as well as stories and images of their experiences. The images will be projected while the group is singing and stories are being shared. It will be a feast for eyes and ears, and an introduction to the Costa Rican people, geography, and culture.

Spiritsong is conducted by Victoria Blake Thompson and accompanied by Barbara Nelson.

Spiritsong has also toured in China (2004), Ireland (2007), and Tanzania (2009). Future tours may include Zimbabwe and Turkey/the Greek Islands. SPIRITSONG exists to promote peace and unity through music and cultural exchange. They seek to create community and connection with the common people in the countries they tour by performing in a wide variety of venues including small communities, schools, and churches. SPIRITSONG welcomes members of all faiths and political perspectives who seek to create peace and live in harmony with all earth’s people.
