Vespers

The 7th Annual Vespers Service was held on Sunday, December 21, 2008, at
4:00 PM in the Conrad Weiser Senior High School auditorium. For the past
seven years, the annual December Church Vespers Service has been
presented, two years at St. Daniel’s Church and the last five at the
Conrad Weiser High School. This past Vespers service was attended by
about 500 guests plus 100 musicians in spite of the snowy and icy
morning. The music, as always, was provided by the Reading Pops
Orchestra, St. Daniel’s senior choir, bell choirs, and soloists. Again,
new festive decorations were created and 100 red poinsettias lined the
front of the stage.
This year we experienced a blackout and the program was shortened by
about one third as emergency lighting provided limited visibility for
the musicians and audience alike.

St. Daniel's Choir Soloists (l-r) Gretchen Patti, Melissa Small, Tara
Bernstel
presented both trios and solos as part of the 2008 Vespers
Service.
