Please join the Carleton University Choir on Saturday, April 7th, as they present the modern masterwork, "Requiem for Peace" (2005), by the noted Canadian composer and arranger Larry Nickel. Under the direction of Laurie Hamilton, and accompanied by Joanne Moorcroft, the concert at Dominion Chalmers Church will feature a Chamber Chorus, a Chamber orchestra and the soloists, Soprano Morgan Strickland, Mezzo Sopranos Julia Brown and Zhao Qun, and Baritone Jean Sébastien Kennedy. It will be their honoured pleasure to have the composer in attendance that evening.

This is the first Ottawa performance of a work which has been celebrated worldwide.

With this piece Dr. Nickel remembers the suffering civilians of this world caught in the cross fire between warring nations as well as the tragic loss of youth as soldiers. Composed of poetry in thirteen languages the movements include Hebrew, Farsi, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese, French, Dutch, Russian, German, Latin, Greek and English selections. This work is an international call for forgiveness and reconciliation.
