Live Arts Maryland opens the season with music that explores peace, compassion, and our shared humanity. Karl Jenkins composed The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace as a response to the tragedies of war, creating one of the most compelling choral works of the past quarter century. Blending the traditional Mass with poetry and texts from many cultures and faiths, the work traces a journey from conflict to hope and reconciliation. ​ The program is complemented by Frank Ticheli's Earthsong, a heartfelt call to care for one another and the world we share; Edward Elgar's poignant Sospiri, a quiet meditation on loss and remembrance; and Kim André Arnesen's Do Not Neglect to Show Hospitality, a moving reminder of the importance of kindness and compassion. Together, these works invite us to reflect on the values that unite us and the enduring hope for peace.

Maryland Witches Samhain Gathering 2026
Celebrate Samhain with local witches and Pagans at the Maryland Witches Samhain Gathering, hosted by Temple of the Roses on Saturday, October 31, in Glenn Dale, Maryland.
This community gathering is an opportunity to meet other local witches and Pagan-friendly people while enjoying an evening of food, activities, celebration, and remembrance.
The evening will feature a community potluck, karaoke, costume contest, Witches’ Dance, vendors and readers, Witches’ Exchange, photo area, raffles, ancestor altar, and Samhain ritual.
Guests are invited to bring a dish for the potluck and come in costume. For the Witches’ Exchange, attendees may bring witchy books, tools, supplies, décor, or other items they no longer use and exchange them for something another participant has brought.
Later in the evening, we’ll gather for an ancestor-focused Samhain ritual honoring our ancestors and beloved dead. Participants will have an opportunity to speak the name of someone they wish to remember and leave a message for the departed.
You do not need to be a member of Temple of the Roses or an experienced practitioner to attend. Newcomers are welcome, and you don’t need to arrive knowing anyone. The gathering is intended to give local witches and Pagans a place to meet, make connections, and spend Samhain together.
