American University Chorus hosts concert to bring people peace following the election

WASHINGTON — Emotions are still running high for many in light of the 2024 election, but today we're getting uplifted by a local group's efforts to spread peace into our community through song. 

This weekend, the American University Chorus is hosting a concert called "The Tree of Peace.” All the songs center around the themes of peace, tranquility and nature, in the wake of the election. 

It's meant to act as a musical sanctuary, and allow those feeling anxious or stressed a moment of relaxation and calm. 

The concert is Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. at the Katzen Art Center's recital center on American University's campus.

Tickets are available here on the school's website. General public tickets cost $15 and only $10 for alumni.

We want to share things that uplift you! If you have something you'd like to share, email us at GetUplifted@wusa9.com or contact Allison Seymour on X, Facebook and Instagram.
