Choral Evensong

Today we welcome Vespera Lux, part of the Koorhuys Choral Community in the Netherlands, to sing this service.

Choral Evensong according to the Book of Common Prayer is one of the treasures of the English Church. This form of service was devised during the English Reformation by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, who would later be martyred in Oxford. The service draws on the Christian Scriptures and the ancient monastic offices of Vespers and Compline; it offers a simple, elegant framework for reflection and prayer. Please sit in the Chancel to participate in this service.
