This concert commemorated Veteran's Day, Remembrance Day, and Armistice Day, which mark the end of World War I. This war was so terrible that at the time, it was thought no war would ever be possible again, but they were mistaken. To give our sorrow a space, we selected pieces which commemorate victims of tragedy, provide solace in times of darkness, and remind us to desire peace. This concert also raised over $250 for the US National Academy of Sciences Safe Passage Fund, used to support scientists and their families displaced by the war in Ukraine.

The program included part of a Requiem mass, several Renaissance motets, and contemporary settings of sorrowful poetry.
