The Edina Chorale kicks off the holiday
season with two concerts, “Peace on Earth: Peace, Pax, Shalom.”
“Peace on Earth” may be the song of Christmas angels, but peace is a
common theme for people of many faiths, and no faith: peace on earth,
peace between individuals, peace within families, peace between cultures, even
peace among and between religions. Join the Edina Chorale as we explore many
different iterations of peace in story, poetry, traditional carols, Christmas motets, and folksongs. The concert will
showcase music of Gabrieli, Frank Ticheli,
Carly Simon and Sara Teasdale, from Israel, South Africa, England, and
the United States.
The program will be presented in two
locations:
Saturday, November 21 at 7:30 pm
Gethsemane Lutheran Church, 715
Minnetonka Mills Road, Hopkins
Sunday, November 22 at 4:00 pm
Normandale Lutheran Church, 6100
Normandale Road, Edina
(Remodeling project may impact elevator
access; see EC website in November for details.)

cookies will be held following the concerts. For ticket information or purchase, contact
