Darkness to Light; Lessons and Carols for Advent

Past event
Dec 15, 2024, 4 to 5:30 PM

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church and its Choir offer this meditation on Advent as we approach the great festival of Christmas. Beginning in semi-darkness, the church gradually becomes full of light as we hear the prophesies of the season. The music ranges from medieval plainsong and Palestrina through part of Handel's "Messiah" to a Basque carol to music by 21st century musicians such as Nico Muhly and John Tavener. In the words of one of the carols - "Shine your future on this place, enlighten every guest, That through us stream your holiness, bright and blest; Come dawn, O Sun of grace." - lyrics by Susan Palo Cherwien. As with all services at St. Stephen's, the public is cordially welcome.
