Sung Vespers for the Dead in Portland

All are welcome to gather for sung vespers for the dead, an ancient evening of prayer consisting of chanted psalms, antiphons, and hymns.

Two presentations will be offered: Saturday, November 5, at 6:30 p.m. (Sacred Heart Church, 326 Main Street in Yarmouth), and Sunday, November 6, at 5 p.m. (Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 307 Congress Street, Portland).

November is the month generally dedicated to prayer for our beloved dead. Join Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the Psalterium Institute Chamber Choir for the Votive Office of the Dead and choral preludes and postludes. The Psalterium Institute is dedicated to the mission of training singers to produce beautiful choral music, while also instructing them in the traditions of Catholic sacred music including Gregorian chant, sacred polyphony, and modern sacred repertoire.
