THE ARMED MAN, A MASS FOR PEACE
We are gathered tonight to sing for peace. Lebanon, the middle east and the world have been suffering for too long from the consequences of war, death and hate. This concert - gathering singers and musicians from different religions, nationalities and cultures – is a gift and a message of love, unity, coexistence and peace. The richness and beauty of music stems from the difference of forces on the stage, the large palette of timbres, and especially from the power of being united, and singing as one. We dream that our country will treasure our differences, and live in harmony. The Armed Man charts the growing menace of a descent into war, interspersed with moments of reflection; shows the horrors that war brings; and ends with the hope for peace in a new millennium, when sorrow, pain and death can be overcome.
