Following last year’s wonderful evensong, we’re delighted to invite you to Come and Sing again in 2025. Join other local choir members and musicians for this special Festival Evensong at St John’s Church under the direction of Janet Coxwell and Steve Bowey with Christopher Sears playing the organ.
Don’t worry if you have little or no experience of singing in a choir for Evensong. The idea of the afternoon is to gather people together from the musical community of Newbury, to raise our voices and to enjoy taking part in something a little bit different.
Music for the service will be sent out in advance to those who register to sing, ready for the rehearsal on the day.
Evensong is held at many cathedrals and churches and provides a restful, peaceful and contemplative time at the even point of the day, between the end of the working day and night-time. Anyone can attend Choral Evensong: people of any faith or none, everyone is welcome.
1.30pm rehearsal
