Lindsey Chapel Series

J.S. Bach Cello Suites Paired with Contemporary Works

Thursdays at noon

February 19 - March 26, 2026

Lindsey Chapel, Emmanuel Church

Our popular Lindsey Chapel Series provides in-person performances by solo musicians and small ensembles from 12:00–1:00pm on Thursdays throughout Lent (February 19 through March 26). This year we present Bach's complete Suites for Solo Cello performed by six extraordinary Boston cellists, paired with contemporary works of the performers choosing. Enjoy a midday respite in the architectural beauty and intimate acoustics of one of the most beautiful Lady Chapels in the country.

The Lindsey Chapel Concert Series is made possible through the generous support of John and Cindy Coldren. The performances are offered to the public without charge so all may have the privilege of experiencing live music.

The 2026 Lindsey Chapel Series will not be available to stream.
