About this Event

Travel back in time to Elizabethan England with The Emmanuel Choir and Viol Consort during this traditional service of Choral Evensong. The Viol (or, Viola da Gamba) was a very popular instrument in the 16th and 17th centuries — and this liturgy will feature richly stunning music for choir and viols, including Orlando Gibbons’ sublime Second Service. Choral Evensong is preceded at 3:30 p.m. by an organ recital featuring music of William Byrd and Juan Cabanilles, performed by Concert Organist Adam Detzner.

  • Christian Lane, director
  • Adam Detzner, organist

About the choir

The Emmanuel Choir is Maryland's premier professional liturgical choral ensemble.

A 16-voice fully-professional mixed-voice ensemble, its 12-member core is augmented by four Choral Scholars, each a local young artist. Rooted in the great and expansive choral traditions of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church, the Emmanuel Choir’s repertoire spans the centuries — from Italian Renaissance to English Romantic; from plainsong to the 21st century — and includes regular world-premiere performances of new music composed for the church of today and tomorrow. The choir is directed by Christian Lane.

About the venue

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is located in the heart of Baltimore's historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood. Its tremendous stone tower at the corner of Cathedral and W. Read Streets serves as a beacon in this community, and the nave's warm acoustic and gentle ambiance contribute to creating an ideal environment in which to hear choral and chamber music.

In 2022, the church building underwent a $3.2M transformation to make each space in its physical plant fully accessible to all; included in this project was an elevator, increased ramp access, and new restroom facilities.
