For 5 years, i have been involved in Advent Vespers at Augsburg College. Advent Vespers celebrates the beginning of the Christmas season with traditional and contemporary hymns, anthems, and carols. Entertaining an audience of nearly 8,000 annually, the Augsburg College Advent Vespers celebration is one of the largest holiday music events in the Twin Cities. Held in the beautifully renovated Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis, Augsburg College’s celebration of the Advent/Christmas season combines over 300 participants; choirs, instrumentalists, readers, and a full liturgical party.  The services highlight the majesty of the space at Central Lutheran Church. Follow the drama of the processions and capture the splendor of the sounds from the massed choirs scattered throughout the sanctuary.

The concerts help get you into the Holiday spirit.  Now as a choir member it takes a lot out of you, haveing two concerts on friday, and two concerts on saturday.  You are exhausted by the end, but filled with lots of joy as people tell you how marvelous the concert was.  If you have never attended a service yet, I recommend catching on next year, you will not be disappointed.
