The World House Choir Presents “Study War No More”

November 13, 14, and 15, 2026

The World House Choir will be joining forces with James Johnston and the YS Community Chorus and Orchestra to perform Ralph Vaughn Williams’ “Dona Nobis Pacem” [Grant Us Peace] one of the most moving and powerful choral works ever written. Composed on the eve of World War II, this dramatic 40-minute cantata weaves together the words of Walt Whitman, the Old Testament, and the Latin Mass to create an urgent plea for peace in a world torn apart by war. Its message is as timely and compelling today as when it was first performed.
