Lutheran Vespers with Yale Consort

Join Yale Consort for a service of Lutheran Vespers. For at least the last eighteen centuries, some formula for prayer at the end of the day has been part of the Christian tradition. Though we don’t know precisely what the earliest Vespers looked or sounded like, certain themes have endured, including confession, gratitude, and light. Through the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, we explore these ancient traditions.

Featured repertoire: J.S. Bach: Nun komm der Heiden Heiland BWV 61.

Yale Consort will be accompanied by a Baroque orchestra for this service.

Free and open to the public.

Due to the off-campus nature of Yale Consort events, they will not be livestreamed. We invite you to join us in person as you are able.

Yale Consort, a newly formed professional vocal ensemble conducted by Professor James O’Donnell and sponsored by the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, provides high quality choral music for a series of evening services in local parishes and chapels.
