Solemn Vespers for Advent
Sunday, December 4, 5:00 pm
Monastery of the Holy Cross, 3111 South Aberdeen Street (Aberdeen & 31st. St)
Chicago Chorale performs at Monastery of the Holy Cross
Members of Chicago Chorale, a small group ensemble, will perform music for the Advent service given by the Brothers of the Holy Cross.
This is a free event and tickets are not required. A free-will offering will be collected.
“The event bears little resemblance to Advent and Christmas commemorations one is likely to find elsewhere in our area. Far from feeding the listeners’ desire for excitement, comfort, or nostalgia, the liturgical framework, the music, and the chapel building itself (one of the best acoustic spaces in the region) inspire reflection, soul-searching, and a sense of timeless peace.”
- Bruce Tammen, Chicago Chorale Artistic Director
