All is Calm:The Christmas Truce of 1914 December 2, 2008

A remarkable true story from almost a century ago brings the holiday spirit into the 21st century.
On December 24, 1914, when the Allied Forces and German soldiers at the Western Front lay down their arms for a Christmas Day truce, no one could have imagined that these two enemy forces would celebrate the day together with camaraderie, music, and peace. Cantus, one of America's finest male vocal ensembles and Theater Latté Da join forces in bringing to life this amazing story of hope and goodwill to men. A work for spoken word and choral voices, All Is Calm features such holiday classics as Silent Night and O Holy Night, interspersed with narration from the heartfelt letters of the story’s real-life characters. Sold-out in concerts throughout the country, this intimate evening of musical storytelling “is likely to become a classic to be repeated for years to come.”
