More music is coming to Post Falls with a new community choir.
Common Ground Choir, a free community group, opens its doors to the public for auditions on Monday.
Internationally acclaimed choir director Dan Hegelund of Post Falls has 30 years of experience in directing choirs, including performing in the Presidential Palace of Kyiv, Ukraine, the Latvian Cabinet, Leavenworth's 50th Christmas Lighting Festival and televised talent show Clash of The Choirs.
“After a long winter, I am delighted to offer our broader community a chance to come together in a language that unites us all: music,” Hegelund said. “I'm calling it Common Ground Choir in celebration of our belief that we still have much in common that we cherish.”
Hegelund said they will sing worshipful gospel tunes in the style of Maverick City. The choir auditions are for adults, although teens who love to sing are welcome.
“You don’t have to be an experienced singer to join; you just have to love to sing,” Hegelund said.
Auditions are at 7 p.m., at 1687 E Horsehaven Ave.
