This year’s concert will fill the Chapel with soaring voices and beautiful orchestral accompaniment as we celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mary’s song of praise, the Magnificat.
Among the works being performed is Taylor Scott Davis’s 2020 composition, The Magnificat. This stirring work sets the opening words of Mary’s Song from the Gospel of Luke, celebrating her joyful response to God’s call while blending the timeless sacred text with a vibrant contemporary musical voice “The Magnificat is a 2,000-year-old text that continues to inspire new and creative forms of expression. Scott Davis’s music explores a vast range of emotions, inviting performers and listeners alike to encounter this ancient text in ways that are both profound and deeply personal,” said Dr. Andrew Jennings, Director of Liturgy and Music.
The concert begins at 4:00 p.m. ET and is free and open to the public, with no reservations required. A reception with light refreshments will follow the concert.
Audiences of all ages are invited to experience this beautiful tradition of sacred music and reflect on Mary’s faithful “yes” to God — a song that has inspired generations.
