Vespers message

To the editor:

The KU Vespers program at the Lied Center last Sunday was beautiful and thoughtful. A treat it was to listen to the orchestra and the choral groups perform a variety of holiday music different from the usual seasonal fare!

A letter appeared in the Journal-World on Dec. 8 suggesting that Vespers was used to make a political statement. I believe the writer missed the point. The music and visual images reminded us of our common humanity and the need for peace on earth with goodwill toward men, a most appropriate message, especially for this holiday season.
