Abdu’l-Baha was the eldest son of Baha’u’llah. When Abdu’l-Baha passed away on 28 November 1921, He was eulogized as One who led humanity to the “Way of Truth,” as a “pillar of peace” and the embodiment of “glory and greatness.”
Each year more than 200 singers from diverse backgrounds and faiths come from around the globe to participate in the Baha’i House of Worship Choral Music Festival, which concludes with two public concerts in the auditorium of the Baha’i House of Worship in Wilmette, Illinois, USA.
This year marked the 11th Annual Baha’i Choral Festival, and more than a thousand people came to the concert at the Baha’i temple to hear the uplifting music and spiritual readings from the world’s religions. This is a live video stream from the event which took place on May 28, 2017.
The live stream of the public concert runs for approximately 2.5 hours, and includes a number of short videos interwoven through the program.
