This weekend there was a great gathering of people from 150 zip codes around Chicago, coming to a house of worship to bear witness together to the inhumanity of gun violence to children. When I saw the crowd, and heard Father Pfleger's words with the combined voices of the Chicago Children's Choir, Sarah Ponder, musicians from St Sabina's Church, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and Chicago's own Symphony Orchestra, then the tears began to flow freely, tears of hope and love that, against all odds, a community could rise with courage and perseverance to eliminate this scourge that has befallen this great city.

Tonight at The Faith Community of Saint Sabina Church, Yo-Yo Ma, musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and the Chicago Children's Choir presented a Concert for Peace.
A concert of music that celebrates and inspires a more peaceful Chicago, the program included works by Scott Joplin, Antonín Dvořák, Duke Ellington and Aaron Copland, and remarks from Father Michael Pfleger and Yo-Yo Ma. All donations and net ticket proceeds from the concert benefit St. Sabina’s anti-violence and “Strong Futures” employment programs. Photos by Todd Rosenberg.
