Lutheran Vespers with Yale Consort
2025-04-08 17:30 - 19:00 | United Church on the Green, 270 Temple Street, New Haven, CT
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.
Free and open to the public. This service will feature Bach’s church cantata Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, BWV 12.
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.

Splendid works from Bach’s prolific Leipzig period

May 7, 2025, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm

St. Paul’s Chapel

Hear pieces from two distinct phases of Bach’s prolific Leipzig period, when he wrote most of the cantatas we perform today. Nun is das Heil und die Kraft represents his first few years in the German city, when he composed sacred works. Meanwhile, grand Cantata 207, Vereinigte Zwietracht der wechselnden Saiten, highlights the phase when he turned his focus to the Collegium Musicum, a public concert series. He continued to write cantatas, but the texts came from poetry rather than scripture. The latter includes an ingenious reworking of the first Brandenburg concerto.

Jessie Montgomery Divided
Downtown Voices; NOVUS; Stephen Sands, conductor
Stephen Main’s The Image draws from the concept of Imago Dei—the belief in the divine spark within each
person and the sacred freedom of conscience it entails. With a vivid libretto and sweeping choral and orchestral
writing, The Image reflects on humanity’s struggle for liberty and justice across history, warning of the fragility
of these ideals in the face of rising authoritarianism. Jessie Montgomery’s Divided for solo cello and orchestra
captures the emotional turmoil of a world grappling with racial injustice, discrimination, poverty, and climate
change. Together, these works explore the tension between chaos and hope, challenging us to confront issues
of our time while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
