Christmas with the Enemy

Join us for narrative in words and music telling the story of the spontaneous truce arranged among soldiers along the Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Featuring over two dozen voices reading from letters and diaries of those who were there, with music also drawn from the period, including the songs they sang for each other and with each other.

"They ate, they sang, they played together. The cared for the wounded and buried the dead, with men of both armies working as one."

Tune in this Sunday, December 16 at 7 p.m. on WRVO.
