Marking 25 years since the events that changed the world and Zug, Light We Carry Forward offers an evening of music, story, and reflection centred on the human response that followed events that shook us. Using music, personal stories, and moments of reflection, the concert explores how people respond to crisis—not through division, but through kindness, generosity, and human connection.

The concert brings together an international collaboration of singers, musicians and actors, including the Zug Show Choir, Bel Canto Chorus and Cantori Contenti.  Zug cellist and singer Jonas Iten joins Canadian pianist, conductor and arranger Tiffany Butt as well as international singers and performers, Kate Michaels and Isabella Flachsmann.  Additional soloists and actors help create a shared artistic experience with curated texts interwoven throughout the evening creating a space for audiences to remember, connect, and look forward together.

Led by Deacon Bernhard Lenfers from St. Johannes Church in Zug, we invite you to please join us in honouring the kindness we share with one another during difficult times.

Our next murder-mystery dinner event:

The Rose
And Its Name

September 25 & 26:

Gasthaus Pöstli, Rifferswil

The Rose And Its Name

The year is 1348.

A gathering of church leaders, monks and nuns have assembled at a remote monastery. But no sooner had the council begun than tragedy struck. A member of the group is found dead under mysterious circumstances, and whispers begin to spread.

Is the legendary Ring of Saint Aurelius somehow connected? Is an ancient rivalry finally boiling over? Or is someone within the monastery hiding a deadly secret?

The truth is buried beneath layers of suspicion, deception, and long-forgotten history and we need your help to uncover it.

Join us for an evening of suspense, laughter, and of course, a delicious meal. Question the suspects, follow the clues, and see if you can solve the mystery before the final revelation.

Come From Away
