Please join us in the Chapel of the Holy Trinity as the CUAA music department presents Concordia Vespers on Sunday, March 6, at 5:00 p.m.
Since fall 2018, Concordia Vespers has taken place each semester in The Chapel of the Holy Trinity. Placing side-by side the proclamation of the Word and important works within a historical liturgical context, This time-honored tradition invites God’s people to respond through singing and prayers, inspired through music and the teaching of God’s Word.
This semester’s service will take place on Sunday, March 6, at 5:00 p.m. in the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, free and open to the public.

To the full and lasting Glory of God
In fall 2020 and spring 2021, the music department created unique solutions to continue the tradition while taking various safety precautions due to COVID-19. In fall 2020, the service was conducted virtually. In spring 2021, only a small number of attendees were permitted while the service was livestreamed and recorded. Last fall, we were able to return to in-person worship while taking appropriate safety precautions.
This spring, the music department is pleased to announce the return of a more substantial Vespers service.
“After having to make pandemic accommodations in recent semesters, I’m excited to say that we are back to performing a full-fledged Bach cantata with Arborsong, a full orchestra, the community chorus, and soloists!” said Director of Church Music and Worship Arts Dr. John Boonenberg. “The cantata is Bach’s BWV 100, ‘Was Gott tut, das ist Wohlgetan.’ Translated to English, that means ‘What God does is done well.’”

Support Concordia Vespers
“Sacred music has been a strong part of our tradition and heritage here at Concordia, ever since the first Concordia Choir began in 1963,” said Linda Sproul, Director of Donor and Alumni Relations. “In the words of Johann Sebastian Bach, ‘The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.’ And we pray that that is the experience of everyone who worships with us at Concordia Vespers.”
