    Solstice Sing for Peace This Sunday

    During the summer solstice, on Sunday June 21 at 8:00 pm, Summit on 16th is hosting a ‘Solstice Sing for Peace’. Solstice Sing for Peace is an international initiative, founded by Rebekah Fraser, with the vision of creating a chain of song around the world at the time of the solstice.

    Both inner peace, or stillness, and world peace, are the subjects of the songs, which include ancient Tibetan chants, songs from regions of conflict in the Middle East and Africa, peace movement songs and hymns from North America and Europe, and some simple classical music compositions.

    A community choir of singers is gathering to chant and sing on themes of peace, using the long, light evening to celebrate a vision of a world less torn by pain and conflict.There are three rehearsals for anyone interested in joining the community choir:

    Sunday June 14, 1:00 pm
    Thursday June 18, 7:00 pm
    Friday June 19, 7:00 pm

    The singers will be joined by Joann and Ben Nagel playing Tibetan crystal bowls and gongs, organist Narmina Aliyeva, and gentle drumming.

    All are welcome, either to join in or simply to sit and listen. Admission is free, and there will be a collection for the University Area Enrichment Association’s community gardening project and Neighborhood Services Inc, a local food and clothing pantry. Summit on 16th (United Methodist Church) is located at 82 East 16th Avenue.
