Yale Consort is the ISM’s newly formed professional vocal ensemble conducted by Professor James O’Donnell. Founded on music from the classical tradition with a focus on Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic liturgical traditions, it provides high quality choral music through a series of evening services in local parishes and chapels in New Haven. Consort services also provide a valuable formational experience for Yale music and divinity students who gain crucial real-world experience by serving as organists, readers, and altar servers under expert faculty leadership.
The centuries-old tradition of Choral Evensong encourages quiet contemplation through hymns, psalms, canticles, prayer, and reflection. All our upcoming services are listed below—you are warmly invited to join us! Questions can be directed to Yale Consort manager, Clifton Massey.
