Main topics

We are looking for choirs or music organisations around the world who would like to organise a concert in their own country on 21.9.2023. Each choir sings the same programme, including parts of “The Peacemakers” by Karl Jenkins. This piece contains peace messages from well-known personalities such as Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela or Mother Theresa. These messages shall sound all day long – around the world. 

As a sign of worldwide networking and appreciation of all nationalities, several shorter compositions from different regions of the world (e.g. Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, South America) are planned to be on the concert programme. Suitable compositions can be submitted by the participating choirs. This confirms that peace can only be achieved through mutual recognition.  

We would like the organising groups to get in contact with each other through a live connection at the beginning and/or at the end of their concert, as a gesture of receiving and handing over the message to the next time zone and therefore to the next country  an atmospheric real “peace relay” takes its course.   

 

TimeDate is aware that the Corona pandemic will keep us globally busy for a while. So we have great understanding in case that planned concerts can not be held or not as planned. Nevertheless, we are looking forward to all choirs who want to work with us forward looking towards this great day!
