The days leading to, and including, Easter are some of the most powerful, provocative, and beautiful within the Christian liturgical tradition — and composers throughout the centuries have written some of their greatest music specifically for these days.
This year, you are invited to experience Holy Week and Easter with your friends at Emmanuel.
The Emmanuel Choir sings poignant and beautiful liturgies on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings — March 28, 29, and 30 — before the triumphant arrival of Easter, with brass fanfares, on Sunday morning. All are welcome.
Christian Lane, director

About the choir
The Emmanuel Choir is Maryland's premier professional liturgical choral ensemble.
A 16-voice fully-professional mixed-voice ensemble, its 12-member core is augmented by four Choral Scholars, each a local young artist. Rooted in the great and expansive choral traditions of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church, the Emmanuel Choir’s repertoire spans the centuries — from Italian Renaissance to English Romantic; from plainsong to the 21st century — and includes regular world-premiere performances of new music composed for the church of today and tomorrow. The choir is directed by Christian Lane.
