Holiday Vespers is a long-standing popular tradition at Mount Holyoke College, during which the community comes together to celebrate light and togetherness on a dark and cold December night.
Since 1899, the holiday tradition has been much anticipated and reliably fills Abbey Memorial Chapel for both an afternoon and an evening performance. Though doors open 35 minutes before the free show, some eager attendees line up an hour or more in advance, despite any winter chill. According to many gleeful attendees, this warm and inclusive event is Mount Holyoke College at its best.
Join Connecticut College’s Camerata and Chorale as they present their fall concert. Repertoire to include works by Samuel Barber, Nadia Boulanger, Josquin Des Prez, and more!
Admission is free and open to the public.
$28 – $52
$28 Upper Balcony
$52 Orchestra and Mezzanine
Tamar Muskal’s twice-postponed work will receive its long-awaited world premiere, kicking off the new season with a musical adventure. In the words of the composer, “We live in a very challenging time—a time of war, sickness, climate disasters, and economic difficulties. One Earth, for a rapper/beatbox artist, table player, string quintet and a treble chorus, calls all people to positive action, to love, to beauty, and to anything that protects the planet and humanity. The piece is rich in sonorities, a fusion of different musical worlds, and contrasts between energetic rhythms, lyrical melodies and powerful rapping.” The program also features Schubert’s heavenly String Quintet in C Major—an early 19th Century call to humanity, beauty and truth. Of Muskal’s music, the Chicago Tribune has written: “The ripples and shimmers that filled Muskal’s post-minimalist score were as evanescent as swirling, digitized visuals— dissolving into one another with kaleidoscopic beauty…high-tech music theater at its most inventive and fascinating.”
