“We are there to be servants of our community. A lot of amateur choirs can become bowling leagues; they show up on Wednesday night, they have a great time, and that's the reason they do it. I think the trick is to satisfy the needs of our singers, develop them as artists and people, but also make the focus constantly about reaching out to our audience: how do I find pieces that are going to meet my singers where they are, challenge them pedagogically, and bring people to my concert and make it impactful?”Erick Lichte enjoys a diverse career as a conductor, composer, and record producer.As a founding member, singer, and Artistic Director of the male vocal ensemble Cantus, Lichte created and sustained one of only two full-time vocal ensembles in the United States. From 2000-2009, Lichte's programming and artistic direction were heard in over 60 concerts a year and he has collaborated with artists such as Bobby McFerrin, the Boston Pops, and Minnesota Orchestra.In January 2013, he began his tenure as Artistic Director of Vancouver, Canada's Chor Leoni Men's Choir. Since that time, he has grown the choir into one of the most active and popular amateur choirs in North America, performing over 35 concerts a year. His first recording with Chor Leoni, Wandering Heart, received a perfect five-star review from the UK's prestigious Choir and Organ Magazine. In the summer of 2018, he led Chor Leoni to multiple awards and Grand Prix appearances at both the Singapore and Bali International Choral Competitions. In 2020, his world premiere recording of When There Is Peace: an Armistice Oratorio was nominated for a JUNO Award.His work with Cantus and Chor Leoni garnered him both the 2009 and 2019 Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence, the highest honour from the professional choral organization Chorus America. He is only the second conductor to have ever won this award with two ensembles.Lichte is an active proponent of new music and has commissioned over 300 new works from composers such as Lee Hoiby, Eriks Esenvalds, Gavin Bryars, Jocelyn Morlock, Steven Sametz, Edie Hill, Mary Ellen Childs, and Zachary Wadsworth among many others.As a record producer, Lichte has made over 30 albums. His recent release for Naxos of the choral music of Eriks Esenvalds spent multiple weeks as the number one classical album on the Billboard charts.He is also an active composer and arranger, especially known for co-creating All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 which has toured North America annually and been performed on three continents. The work's 2018 off-Broadway run in Greenwich Village garnered Lichte a Drama Desk Award for both his composing and his musical direction. In November 2020, a filmed version of this production will air across the United States distributed through PBS.To get in touch with Erick, you can reach out on Instagram (@ericklichte) or on Facebook (@erick.lichte).

In my final show from Australia, I consider the latest outlook for the financial system, ahead of decisions from the FED and Bank of England as markets try to navigate the uncertain signals coming to the surface. It may be calmer for now, but the question is, is this the calm before the storm? And … Continue reading "All Is Calm – But Is It The Calm Before The Storm? [Podcast]"

The county is seeking clarification on a San Diego judge’s ruling allowing strip clubs and businesses with restaurant services to remain open. Plus, as we continue to see more vaccines available and more people eligible to be vaccinated — is a healthy person’s decision not to get vaccinated an ethically defensible choice? And food relief organizations are in agreement that the pandemic and related unemployment is increasing the amount of food insecurity in the U.S. Then, a new program is hoping to give caregivers of disabled veterans relief from burnout. And Retiring KPBS General Manager Tom Karlo looks ahead to the future of KPBS and other local media. Finally, constantly changing COVID-19 guidelines have challenged the San Diego Opera’s planning for a drive-in screening of “All Is Calm.”
Do you remember learning about the Christmas truce during WWI in 1914? Peter Rothstein of Theater Latte-Da joins Cory to talk about his new show, All Is Calm, airing later this week on TPT. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Just like a high performance vehicle is made to run on high-grade fuel, you and I were designed to operate on a premium level of peace. But because this premium peace comes with a cost, we tend to buy in to low-grade levels the world offers. Join Pastor Jake Wirth as he begins our All Is Calm series by helping us understand what often gets in the way of experiencing God’s peace—and how this premium kind of peace is worth its price tag.
DC’s Mike James and Mollie Ames discuss: Getting away during the holidays for peace of mind and rest, by going to Savannah, Georgia... (Part 1 of the Podcast only content) No one eats plain yogurt, right? Browns win again, but Kobe Bryant offering words of wisdom and asking pro athletes to "channel (their) inner Black Mamba" at a Denver hotel, was probably not the best place for that dude to be giving a motivational speech. Tribe deals big and save even bigger to conclude baseball's Winter Meetings, and though you have to wonder who's going to be hitting in the middle of that lineup now, we're currently more interested in newly acquired Jake Bauer's whole "see ball, hit ball" approach to hitting. Alan Madej's X-Mas Single #7 "All Is Calm, All Is Bright (Tonight)", and how to just relent and enjoy all the holiday season spirit. (Part 2 of the Podcast only content, begins at the 1:09:00 mark) Let Me Tell You A Story: Lachlan MacKinnon’s “Christmas Day" (begins at the 1:22:00 mark) "The early bird gets the worm" as a cautionary tale. How come some entertainers and athletes get a pass for their transgressions, no matter how awful and/or evil, while others do not? And knowing that all we can work towards is to end up on the right side of history, even if everything appears totally backwards and fucked up today. Cardi B. is not an artist and all her recent Grammy nominations feel like make-up awards seemingly only extended in an attempt to compensate for some of the Grammy's prior mistakes and embarrassments. (Part 3 of the Podcast only content, begins at the 2:02:00 mark) How come all period piece films and shows now seem like they should have dragons and snow zombies in them? Mollie’s PuhFooFuh Spotlight Part 14: “Hat Man and Barrel Man” (Part 4 of the Podcast only content, begins at the 2:39:00 mark) Sure, Steph Curry is clearly willing to entertain insane conspiracy theories that are an affront to science, research and understanding, not to mention one of the greatest accomplishments of our species, but how come no one is calling him out on the really legit, unprovable crazy shit we all know he firmly believes in? Michael's 2018 Christmas miracle story. All this and so much more on this episode of the Defend Cleveland Podcast. Enjoy~ This show is dedicated to the memory of fellow WRUW programmer and beloved radio personality, Roger Weist. Alan Madej's "All Is Calm, All Is Bright (Tonight)" song was used with permission on today's show. Be sure to listen to Alan performing all 7 of his X-Mas singles live for the first time ever this Thursday, December 20th from 10-11pm ET on WRUW's Live From Cleveland show. Can't miss stuff!

All Is Calm, a production originally conceived by Theatre Latte Da in Minneapolis, is a choral opera about a true story: the Christmas Eve cease fire in 1914, when the Allies and German troops in the trenches spent a few hours at peace, singing their favorite carols, sharing stories and even playing a soccer match. In this interview General Director David Bennett talks about the origins of this production from Bodhi Tree Concerts and the involvement of the choral group Sacra Profana. Enjoy!
This year commemorates the 100th anniversary of the United States' entry into World War I. Though often referred to as The Forgotten War, most of us know that it was one of the largest and most brutal wars in history. But there is one short chapter that is still unknown to many—during the Christmas of 1914, peace broke out. Allied and German soldiers on the front lines reached out to each other from their trenches, initially through Christmas caroling, and met in the No Man's Land between them to exchange holiday greetings, trade food, play soccer, swap prisoners and hold burial ceremonies for their dead. Then, the truce ended, and the war continued. One of the most unlikely moments in modern history, and left out of most textbooks, the Christmas Truce of 1914 really did happen. This Sunday at Kean University, the story will come to life on stage in “All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914.” Christopher Benincasa recently spoke with writer and director Peter Rothstein and Kean Stage Manager Steve Cochran about “All Is Calm,” and the amazing history behind it.

For nearly 30 years David has traveled the world as a New Thought musician, keynote speaker and workshop/retreat facilitator. His focus on remembering the Divine within and reclaiming that connection has empowered hundreds of thousands on their spiritual journey. The union of David’s charismatic message and heartfelt singing has elevated him to keynote speaker of choice in many nationwide churches, centers and global organizations. “In my world of effect, there will always be someone smarter, prettier/handsomer, richer, braver, and more talented than me. And eventually I learn that the gift of life isn’t about any of that; it’s about ceaselessly taking inventory of all the gifts I do possess and never abusing them through the waste of comparison. Throughout the 1980’s, David, along with the late Jerry Florence and Keith Kimberlin made their mark in New Thought history by helping pioneer an unexplored musical genre — “visionary vocal/positive music.” The trio, known as Alliance, became trailblazers when introducing original music specifically designed to support the metaphysical teachings that life reflects our thoughts. They toured/supported the beginning ministries of such notables as Louise Hay and Marianne Williamson. Alliance’s legendary blend and musical message helped establish them as one of the most successful vocal groups in the Spiritual recording field. David continued this musical path as a solo artist, releasing one critically acclaimed recording after another including The Healing Bridge, Travelin’ With The Angels, All Is Calm, All Is Bright, And Then It Is Morning, One With The World, and Worthy Shoes. As an ordained minister, David founded a Center for Spiritual Living in Mobile, Alabama and served as its senior minister for 4 years before accepting the position as senior minister for Spiritual Living Center of Atlanta, Georgia in the fall of 2010. Through his stateside non-profit, Khmer Child Foundation, David has established an ongoing fresh water well building facilitation project in the Siem Reap area of Cambodia, as well as created a non-government regulated school that provides free education, medical/hygiene assistance, agricultural and life skills training, all against the odds of poverty and bureaucratic restriction. The school, named Future Khmer Child, currently supports nearly 200 children and young adults all year round.As a respected teacher, writer and columnist, David is the author of the bestseller, Where Regret Cannot Find Me and his new book, The Grass Is Greener Right Here. David resides in Atlanta, GA.
In this week's program, History Professor Beshara Doumani will be in conversation with Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi about his new book entitled Sowing Crisis: The Cold War and American Hegemony in the Middle East. In his new work, Professor Khalidi dissects the crucial dynamics of power in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union as it played out in the Middle East, compellingly arguing that the intense rivalry between the U.S. and the USSR in the region set the stage for the tragic conflicts that have followed in its long wake. Rashid Khalidi is Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/history/fac-bios/Khalidi/faculty.html During the program, we will also hear selections from All Is Calm is the name of a music CD by young and talented Iranian artist Hamed Nikpay. http://www.hamednikpay.com/beta/ The post Voices of the Middle East and North Africa – A conversation with Professor Rashid Khalidi appeared first on KPFA.
