Duke Chapel
Sacred Music & the Arts
Recognizing the creative arts as both an expression of the worship of God and an expression of human longing for God, the Chapel cultivates a robust music program that seeks to give glory to God and to stir the hearts and minds of all those it reaches; it also nurtures expressions of faith through dance, the visual arts, and other artistic modes.
Working from a variety of sacred music traditions, Chapel Music comprises three choirs, seven staff members, two organ scholars, four organs, and a 50-bell carillon, in addition to partnerships with many professional musicians, student music groups, and guest choirs.
The Chapel also creates a space on campus for expression of the spiritual life by crafting student and community-based programming for ethnically, culturally, and religiously diverse aesthetic offerings.
Always Human: Re-visioning Justice
In collaboration with community and campus partners, the Duke University Chapel project Always Human: Re-Visioning Justice examines prisons and mass incarceration from a variety of perspectives and through a variety of media.
