Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents the a performance of "All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914" by the vocal ensemble Cantus and Theatre Latté Da on Saturday, November 22nd.

The Western Front, Christmas Eve, 1914: out of the violence of the Great War’s trenches comes a silence, then a song as a young German soldier steps into no man’s land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, and peace. Renowned vocal ensemble, Cantus, and Theater Latté Da present "All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914" by Peter Rothstein, with musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach. Through new arrangements of European carols and war-songs for a capella voices, “All Is Calm” recalls the remarkable World War I truce between Allied Forces and German soldiers in no man’s land on Christmas, 1914.
