The theme for the concerts, "Grant Us Peace," provides the opportunity to present uplifting choral works with arrangements of familiar carols such as "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Still, Still, Still," selections from Handel's "Messiah" and songs about bringing peace and love to the world in which we live.
The finale will feature singers encircling the auditorium performing Vaughan Williams' "Nation Shall Not Lift Up a Sword Against Nation" with organ and percussion accompanying.
