The Highland Views String Ensemble, with a community chorus and guest musicians from Ukraine, present "Music for Peace" on Saturday, March 11, at 7pm at South Church Hall on the St. Johnsbury Academy campus. A free-will offering will be received at the concert with proceeds in support of Ukrainian refugees who are living in the Northeast Kingdom at the Agape House of Mercy.

Kathy Charlestream, director of this highly regarded ensemble of 25 string players, feels that music is a universal language. A string teacher for 35 years, Charlestream organized this concert out of "a passion is to communicate to the Ukrainians the love and support we have for them through music." Her program will include classical works by Corelli, Bach, Vivaldi, Rachmaninoff, and Handel. Contemporary composers include John Williams from his score for the film Schindler's List, a fun Ukrainian folk tune by Hopak, and other energetic pieces by various composers.

A community choir, under the direction of Alan Rowe of the St. Johnsbury Academy's music department, will sing selections From Handel's Messiah and choral settings of several hymns.
