Choral Evensong is held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 7pm. This service is designed to allow for reflection and calm and is held midweek in the evening to provide a break to our busy lives.
One of the treasures of the Anglican tradition, evensong is a service of sung evening prayer. It is the only Cathedral service led almost entirely by the choir. The interspersing of music—spanning from the Renaissance to our time—between familiar passages of scripture and ancient prayers, creates a contemplative mood. Lasting about 40 minutes, the service is a wonderful way to end the day.
