"All Is Calm" at Door Community Auditorium: The Inspiring Story of the Christmas Truce of 1914
By Door Community Auditorium
Nov 23, 2011 - 8:31:21 AM
Get into the holiday spirit with "All Is Calm", the true story of the way one young soldier’s courage led to an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, and peace.
Performed by acclaimed Twin Cities vocal ensemble Cantus and Theater Latté Da, "All Is Calm" tells the story of the Christmas Truce of 1914, in which soldiers on both sides of World War I set down their weapons and entered into no man’s land to celebrate Christmas together. Writer Peter Rothstein and musical arrangers Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach use a cappella arrangements of European carols and war songs to recall the peace and friendship that night engendered, as well as the many questions it raised.
According to arranger Erick Lichte (who also serves as Artistic Director of Cantus), "All Is Calm" serves as a powerful reminder of the best impulses behind the holiday season.
"You can lose sight as to why you're singing ... Christmas music," he says. "And I think this story reminds us. It is about peace on Earth, goodwill toward men - that’s not just a thing you sing in a carol you like the tune of."
Tickets for the November 26 performance of "All Is Calm" (which begins at 7:00 pm) range from $28 to $45 and can be purchased in person at the Door Community Auditorium on Highway 42 in Fish Creek, on the phone at (920) 868-2728, or online at www.dcauditorium.org. Veterans and Students receive a $5 discount per ticket.
