Jazz Vespers: A Service of Hope
Advertisement
Sing, rest, pray, and celebrate at this worship service. With a theme of hope, the service combines the ancient Christian tradition of evening vespers with the aural idioms of Black sacred music, including jazz, gospel, and the spirituals.
There is no charge for admission. Free parking is available in the the Bryan Center Garage at 125 Science Drive with ADA parking in the adjacent surface lot.
Jazz Vespers is led musically by John V. Brown, Professor of the Practice of Music and Director of the Jazz Program at Duke University, and the John Brown "Little Big Band."
Over the past eleven years, Jazz Vespers has become a beloved tradition at Duke Chapel. Listen to Professor discuss the musical history of Jazz Vespers: https://chapel.duke.edu/news/podcast-episode-ten-years-jazz-vespers-inspiration-and-improvisation/
