Grant Us Peace: Music and Readings Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of 9/11

Duke Chapel musicians and the Ciompi Quartet perform compositions with themes of remembrance, peace, and reconciliation by composers including Joan Tower, Felix Mendelssohn, Shireen Abu-Khader, Ned Rorem, Ola Gjeilo, and George Walker. The musical performances are interwoven with poetic commentary.

In addition to the Ciompi Quartet as instrumentalists, the musicians are Duke Chapel Schola Cantorum, singers; Chapel Organist Christopher Jacobson, organ and piano; and Dr. Zebulon M. Highben, conductor and director of Duke Chapel Music. The concert, co-sponsored by Duke Arts, will be live-streamed.

Admission is free. Parking is available at the Bryan Center Parking Garage.
