HELENA, Mont. — Members of Minot State University Concert Choir had the honor of singing at Mass in the Helena Cathedral in Helena, Montana, on Saturday.

Their performance in Helena Cathedral was one of the highlights of the group’s spring break trip across the northern tier of Montana, starting on Thursday, and singing in multiple locations.

The MSU group had limited rehearsal of the music for the Mass.

“I was especially proud of the choir who had only looked at the music once when we were in Scobey (Montana). They sang with confidence through tricky harmonized psalms and chants from the proper, and then the Mass itself, written by Jonathan (Embry),” said Emerson Eads, director of Choral Activities at MSU.

Embry, director of music at Helena Cathedral, and Eads both attended graduate school at Notre Dame in Indiana.

For the Mass, Eads said solos from sopranos Kylee Cook and Megan Klebe “were beautifully executed. Monsignor Kevin O’Neill warmly greeted us in his sermon referring to Bishop Austin Anthony Vetter’s hometown of Linton.”

Earlier the trip included a stop at Scobey (Mont.) Public School where they presented a concert to about 240 K-12 graders and then a concert at Scobey Lutheran Church.

A stop at Glacier National Park was part of the trip.

The group returned to Minot on Sunday.
