Better is Peace — Mieux vaut la paix
📅 May 22 | 📍 Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre

In a moment when the world is searching for connection over conflict, Better is Peace brings voices together in a powerful call for hope, reflection, and unity. 🌍

This extraordinary collaboration features Castenchel Choir alongside Nepean Choir, Nepean High School Choir, and the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra—blending generations and communities through music.

✨ Program highlights:

• The Listeners by Caroline Shaw — inspired by Carl Sagan’s Golden Record sent into space aboard the Voyager probes, a message of humanity reaching beyond our world

• The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace by Karl Jenkins — a stirring reflection on war and the enduring hope for peace

• Omaa Biindig by Andrew Balfour — from the JUNO-nominated NAGAMO project, weaving Indigenous spirituality with choral tradition

An unforgettable evening that connects earth and sky, past and future, and our shared wish for peace.
