Voices 21 Closes to Close Its 16th Season

The Washington-area chamber chorus Voices 21 closes its 16th season with a concert of contemplative and inspiring music from the Renaissance through the 21st century that explores inner and outer peace. Highlights include I Will Not Leave You Comfortless by William Byrd and Verleih’ uns Frieden by Felix Mendelssohn. Contemporary pieces include I Will Sing with the Spirit by John Rutter, Beautiful River arranged by William Hawley, and The Ground by Ola Gjeilo. The concert will also feature Kirke Mechem’s Island in Space based on a text by Archibald MacLeish and Russell Schweickart, the first astronaut to make an unattached spacewalk.

Join us as we share music that spreads the message of peace with spirit, peace with nature, and peace among all people.

Admission is free.  Donations will be accepted at the door.
