Songs of Peace – A Free Concert 

You are warmly invited to “Songs of Peace”, a free concert of soul-stirring music that will fill your heart with peace and hope. An award-winning international women’s choir, Paree’s Group, will perform meditative and joyful a capella arrangements of songs by Sri Chinmoy.  The concert will be held on Friday, April 17, 2026 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at historic Christ Church, 20 North American Street (2nd and Market).  Reservations are encouraged – please  text 215-383-3663.

At the end of the concert, you will also have a chance to hold our special Peace Torch and add your own silent wishes for peace.  This Torch will be carried by an international team of runners from the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run that will be visiting Philadelphia that day on their 10,000-mile relay journey through all 50 States, honoring America’s ideals on its 250th anniversary.  See peacerun.org for more information.

This is not a political event.  It is based on Sri Chinmoy’s philosophy that peace begins within the heart of each of us, and from there spreads in ever-widening circles as a dynamic force for world change.
