Awakeneers Peace on Earth Day Concert
Sat 27 Apr 2024 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
The Sanctuary at VanU, V5Z 2T1
Description
With original folk ballads, rousing anthems and reverential hymns this Awakeneers concert is a heart-felt honouring of the sacred preciousness of Life on Earth, a celebration of the miraculous awesome interconnectedness of all forms of life, and compassion for all who live here.
Whatever our faiths, cultures, nationalities, and ethnicities, all humans share the Earth, our only home. This home and the living beings upon it — including many human communities and cultures — are in peril. As citizens of the Earth, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to respond to the condition of our world with love, compassion, understanding, and the deep knowledge that another way is possible and that we can contribute to it.
Doors open at 6:30pm
Event starts at 7:00pm
Admission is free / by donation but venue capacity is limited so reserve your seat in advance.
The Sanctuary at VanU is located on the corner of 49th and Oak at 949 W 49th Ave.
About the Awakeneers:
Awakeneers’ music centres around
honest vocals sweetened with multi-part harmonies and acoustic
instrumentation. The nomadic band of multi-instrumentalist songwriters —
many of whom are siblings — segues seamlessly from a foot-stomping
fiddle tune to a hip-hop guide to mindfulness, weaving a genre-bending
blend of acoustic positivity that orbits elliptically around the idea of
folk music. Their songwriting shines a light on life's big questions,
celebrating the goodness of humanity and the miracle of Life on Earth.
