"It’s our homecoming concert... complete with
sides and stories! Hope you can come join us!
What a trip!" says SPIRITSONG in a press release
about their upcoming concert to celebrate and
inform regarding their recently completed tour
of Iceland. The upcoming performances will be
this Saturday in Creston, British Columbia, and
Sunday in Bonners Ferry.
SPIRITSONG international women’s ensemble
presents will present their homecoming concert
from their recent tour to Iceland on both sides
of the U.S. / Canadian international border. On
Saturday, July 28 at 7:30 p.m., they will
perform at the Prince Charles Auditorium in
Creston. On Sunday, July 29 at 2:00 p.m. they
will present their concert at the Pearl Theater
in Bonners Ferry.
SPIRITSONG is 15 voice ensemble featuring women
from Bonners Ferry and from Creston, under the
direction of Vicki Blake Thompson, accompanied
by Jim Thompson on EWI (electronic wind
instrument). Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5
for students. They are available at Bonners
Books and Mountain Mike’s Nutrition and in
Creston at Black Bear Books.
The concert is a reflection of their tour of
Iceland. It features the music they presented
six times in various communities in Iceland,
along with slides and stories from their
journey. The program, titled “Folk to Folk,”
features folk songs of North America which speak
to the common human desires for freedom,
connection, and simple joys. They will also
share a couple Icelandic folk songs they learned
from the women’s choirs with whom they shared
workshops and performances with along the way.
The music includes many familiar tunes from the
United States and Canada in a staged performance
with movement, and incorporates photographs from
the choir’s adventures in the wild and unique
landscapes of Iceland.
