With performances described as “the best choral singing we’ve ever heard in Bozeman (or almost anywhere),” Roots in the Sky has established itself as Montana’s premier chamber choir through a 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 the GRAMMY Award-winning chamber 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 Tippet Rise Arts Center, 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 their Mainly Music season, at mass in the Cathedral of St. Helena, and in concert in Missoula, Kalispell, and Big Sky.

Recent highlights include performances of Scott Ordway’s The End of Rain, a multimedia reflection on the way that climate change and wildfires are affecting our relationship to the landscapes we call home, the region’s first historically informed presentation of Handel’s Messiah with Baroque Music Montana, a new Choral Composition Program for early career composers in partnership with Pulitzer Prize finalist Michael Gilbertson and Tinworks Art, and a Wander series performance at the Tippet Rise Arts Center that was a “highlight of the season.” In their 2025-26, Ritual (Re)imagined, Roots in the Sky breathes new life into ancient liturgies and musical forms.
