Compline returns to St. Cecilia

The Men’s Compline Choir of Bainbridge Island will sing the Office of Compline at 8 p.m. Sunday, April 9 at Saint Cecilia Parish (1310 Madison Ave. North).

Compline, also called Night Prayer, is the last of the traditional daily services sung by monastic communities and dates back to at least the 8th century. The service consists of chant, readings, psalms, prayers, petitions and hymns, sung in a contemplative setting in a darkened church.

The concert is approximately 30 minutes in length, and all are welcome.
