Area singers are invited to join a mass choir for Hesston College’s Masterworks concert Saturday, Sept. 22. The concert, entitled “Grant Us Peace,” will be a performance of Vaughan William’s “Dona Nobis Pacem” in celebration of the International Day of Peace.

Community singers will join students and professional orchestra members for four weeks of rehearsal leading up to the concert. The rehearsal schedule and information can be found online. Choir members are requested to make a $20 donation if possible to help cover the cost of music.
