The Western Front, Christmas Eve, 1914. Out of the violence of the Great War's trenches comes a silence, then a song as a young German soldier steps into no man's land singing Stille Nacht. Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, and peace.

Cantus and Theater Latté Da present the world premiere of All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 by Peter Rothstein, with musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach. Through new arrangements of European carols and war-songs, All Is Calm recalls the remarkable World War I truce between Allied Forces and German soldiers in no man's land on Christmas, 1914.

Cantus and the St. Olaf Choir join forces for the choral event of the season. Three years ago this sold-out event brought two of the finest a cappella ensembles in the country together for a celebration of the human voice raised in song. This year's event will feature diverse repertoire from each ensemble, as well as collaborative pieces including a new work by Twin Cities composer Edie Hill. The stunning acoustics of St. Olaf Catholic Church in Minneapolis and St. Andrew's Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi will provide the perfect setting for these world-class choirs. Choral fans, have no fear - "Beautiful Savior" will be sung.
