Yale Consort
James O’Donnell, conductor

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.
