Peace Together Choir highlights Advent

Peace Together Choir

The crowd was not as large for the Peace Together Choit performance Sunday as it was on three previous engagements when they appeared in conjunction with the memorial Masses for nurses. There were, of course, more than 200 nurses at those programs. An Advent appearance at St. Paul by the choir in 2008 attracted about 500.

The choir nevertheless provided a delightful Advent program with the theme "Celebrate Christ Our Light," There were more than a dozen hymns by the four men and 12 women in the choir which includes voices from a half dozen Catholic parishes

Mary Jo and Ron Mohlmaster provided interpreting for the deaf,

John Buckenberger is director of the choir. Instrumentalists include James Hanna, piano; Elena LaVictoire, flute, and Scott Farkas, percussion.

The mission of The Peace Together Choir is to perform and record meaningful music to bring hope and peace to their listeners. It is a non-profit organization and donates proceeds from CD sales to charitable groups, including Hospice of the Visiting Nurse Service. CDs for sale by the choir were available after the concert.
