The African Children’s Choir will offer a special evening of music at Easthaven Baptist Church in Kalispell on April 23 at 7 p.m. 

The evening is hosted by the Whitefish Church of the Nazarene.

The African Children's Choir captures the hearts of audiences with their beautiful voices and lively African songs and dances. 

The program features well-loved children's songs, traditional spirituals and gospel favorites. Concerts are free and open to all. A free-will offering will be taken to support African Children's Choir programs, which include education, care and relief, and development.

The African Children's Choir has performed before presidents, heads of state and the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II, for her diamond jubilee. The choir has also had the honor of singing alongside artists such as Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and other inspirational performers.

The African Children's Choir accompanied South African opera singer, Pumeza Matshikiza, on some tracks for her debut album, recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.
