Barris rejoins Karen Schuessler Singers for Peacekeepers Concert

In 2007, Ted Barris teamed up with the full Karen Schuessler choir in London to present an evening of choral music and readings on the subject of war and peace. The event proved so successful, that Karen and Ted plan to collaborate again at 8 p.m., on Saturday, November 17, 2012, at the Wesley-Knox United Church in South London. This time the theme of music and readings will be “peacekeepers.” The evening will be filled with the moving music of the Karen Schuessler Singers and stories of visuals from some of Ted Barris’s numerous books about Canadians in wartime.
