All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914

December 12

– December 14

It’s Christmas Eve, 1914 at The Western Front. Out of the violence of World War I, a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, and peace. Featuring a glorious, all-male, acapella chorale, All Is Calm is a remarkable true story in the words and songs of the men who lived it. Experience the incredible story during a special, one-weekend-only holiday event that truly epitomizes humankind’s need for “peace on Earth.”
