Join us for a truly unique international music celebration to be performed at the
Saint James Community Square Hall in Vancouver on August 8th at 8pm.
A “Concert for Peace” is a musical journey that brings together musicians and singers from around the world, celebrating the depth, power and sheer vastness of the musical compositions of the late Indian-born philosopher and composer, Sri Chinmoy.
Sri Chinmoy’s heart-warming, soul-stirring music has been acclaimed and celebrated by musical giants including Ravi Shankar, Leonard Bernstein and Quincy Jones. Over his lifetime, Sri Chinmoy offered almost 800 concerts around the world, all of them free of charge, in the belief that the inner peace and happiness he sought to convey through his music was everyone’s birthright.
