Vesper | A Mosaic of Faith and Hope - A Festival of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs
Alumni of the James Abbington Church Music Academy of the Hampton Ministers Institute lead a festival of congregation songs. These Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual songs come from a variety of cultural settings that explore contrasting, but complementary ways that music brings to expression Christian faith and hope. The festival was part of the 2017 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
