Out of the stillness, a soldier sings Silent Night, and both sides lay down their arms for one night, for a brief truce in the midst of the Great War.

Cantus sings and narrates a ­re-creation of the Christmas Truce of 1914.

The program also includes Vaughan Williams’ arrangements of The First Noel, Coventry Carol, I Saw Three Ships, and others.

7 p.m. Polsky Theatre
Pre-concert talk featuring Dr. Bob Xidis and George Thompson
