The Arts Council presents choral group Roots in the Sky for their annual holiday program on Sunday, Dec. 19 at 7:30 p.m. The program is a meditation on motherhood and the miracle of childbirth towards a universal understanding beyond birth, death and time. The evening is presented by the Arts Council’s Schwer-Toepffer Memorial Fund.
With performances described as “the best choral singing we’ve ever heard in Bozeman (or almost anywhere),” Roots in the Sky, formerly the Aoide Chamber Singers, has established itself as Montana’s premier chamber choir through its commitment to presenting thoughtfully programmed performances of historical and contemporary choral works that ask questions about the world in which we are living.
Sought-after for collaborations, Roots in the Sky has appeared in performance with Grammy-Award winning choir The Crossing, Jitro Czech Children’s Choir and many of the Gallatin Valley’s finest instrumentalists.
Roots in the Sky has performed across the state of Montana at venues including at the Tippet Rise Arts Center as part of the Montana State University Honors College Musicale; in Red Lodge as part of Music from the Beartooths; in the Bozeman Public Library as part of the Montana Chamber Music Society’s Noon Notes series for elementary students; as the chorus of a contemporary chamber opera at the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center in Big Sky; at First Presbyterian Church of Bozeman as part of Mainly Music; at mass in the Cathedral of St. Helena; and in concert in Missoula, Kalispell and Big Sky.
Program:
- “I Want to Write a Book of Praise (from The Arc in the Sky)” by Kile Smith
- “Hymn to the Virgin” by Benjamin Britten
- “Shining Light” by Joanne Metcalf
- “Salve Regina” by Arvo Pärt
- “Madonna and Child” by Edwin Fissinger
- “Born” by Michael Gilbertson
- “Ave Maria… virgo serena” by Josquin des Prez
- “Mother and Child” by John Tavener
The Chapel will open at 7 p.m. for the performance and the Arts Council asks to please not arrive before that time.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
