All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914

On Christmas Eve 1914 in
the cold trenches of World War I, something miraculous happened. A lone soldier
stepped into no man’s land, lifted his voice in song and began this remarkable
true story. In that no-longer-silent night, troops from both sides laid down
their weapons for an extraordinary holiday celebration of music, feasting, and
camaraderie.

In this powerful musical recounting of shared humanity in dark times, a 10-man a cappella chorus weaves together soldiers’ letters, poetry, and period songs—ranging from trench tunes to holiday carols—into an extraordinary holiday gift that is not to be missed.
