A Concert for Peace
March 2 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
FREE
A Concert for Peace will feature the choirs of St. Paul’s, St. Stephen’s and St. James’s churches performing Miserere: Songs of Mercy & Redemption by Sir Karl Jenkins, one of the world’s most-performed living composers. This epic and wide-ranging piece, which is dedicated to everyone who has suffered or perished in the Middle East over the last 70 years, draws from ancient Latin, Aramaic, modern-day Arabic and Hebrew texts, including sayings pertaining to ‘mercy’ by Rumi (1207-1273), the Sunni Muslim and Persian poet and philosopher, plus language from Psalm 51. Many members of the Richmond Symphony will be accompanying the Three Choirs. Admissions is FREE.
