Millikin University will present the 57th annual Vespers at Millikin at 3 and 7 p.m. both Saturday, Dec. 5 and Sunday, Dec. 6. Performances will be held at Kirkland Fine Arts Center on the campus of Millikin University.
For more than 50 years Vespers (which means “evening prayer”) has signaled the beginning of the holiday season with a sumptuous evening of carols, choirs and candlelight. Two hundred and fifty musicians join together for this joyous musical feast presented annually on the Millikin campus. Songs from past centuries combine with familiar carols and arrangements to create an evening of seasonal warmth for the whole family.
The theme for this year’s Vespers is “Peace.”
