Join us for a contemplative service of Choral Evensong onWednesday in Holy Week that centers on biblical stories
of lament. The St. John’s Choir and Choristers will sing
William Byrd’s motet Civitas sancti tui, a lament for the
desolation of Jerusalem, and Eric Whitacre’s monumental
late twentieth-century anthem When David Heard, which
sets King David’s anguished cry over the death of his son
Absalom. The Magnificat and Nunc dimittis from Byrd’s
Second Evening Service will be accompanied by viol consort.
Validated parking is available. Ask an usher for a validation
ticket before or after the service. The service is also available via
livestream on our website.
The St. John’s Choir and Choristers sing Evensong on the
third Wednesday of most months from September through
May, beginning at 5:30 p.m. and followed by a reception in
Togo West Parlor.
