For more than 30 years, the
FUMC Vesper Concert Series
has presented the finest musicians
from around the
world and from our
own community.
Performers have included Boston
Brass, David Briggs, Chanticleer, Clare
College Choir, Gerre Hancock, FUMC Choirs, Gloriae
Dei Cantores, Kiev Symphony
Orchestra and Chorus, The
Kings
Singers, Robert MacDonald, New
Zealand, National Youth Choir, John Rutter, John Scott, St. Thomas Choir

David Willcocks.
All events in our Vesper
Concert
Series are offered with free
admission, as a ministry to the
people of Lubbock and the South
Plains. We
hope that those who
come to our concerts will find their
hearts and souls enriched as they
enjoy the finest
sacred and
classical music in the beauty of our FUMC Sanctuary, and that they will
experience God,
revealed to
us through that music.
All of this is made possible by the
generous contributions of the
FUMC
Friends of Music.
