Music in the Chapel: The Nightingale Trio
Lakewood's Music in the Chapel concerts showcase a variety of artists in one of our city's most beloved architectural treasures, the Lakewood Memorial Chapel.
On Sunday, July 8, listen to The Nightingale Trio sing the rich women's vocal traditions of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. With sounds that could fill a hall and the tight harmonies of a family band, the Nightingale Trio captures this amazing tradition's incomparable richness, dizzying rhythms, and raw, earthy power. An emerging force on the global folk music scene, the Nightingale Trio serves as emissaries of the deep women's folk tradition from Eastern Europe.
The Lakewood Memorial Chapel will be open for viewing and self-guided tours beginning at 2:00 p.m.
Dedicated in 1910, the Lakewood Memorial Chapel was modeled after the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul by prominent Minneapolis architect Harry Wild Jones. It features a 40-foot high dome ringed with stained glass windows and 12 mosaic angels. The Chapel's mosaic interior, created by New York designer Charles Lamb, is made up of more than 10 million mosaic pieces of marble, colored stone and glass fused with gold and silver. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Chapel is one of the finest examples of Byzantine Revival architecture with mosaic interior in the country.
