COME & SING - Choral Evensong!

The Minster's Summer Festival brings the opportunity to join the Minster choir and enjoy singing the traditional service of Choral Evensong, including canticles by Stanford in C and Charles Wood's anthem, 'O thou the central orb'. Rehearsal begins at 2.30pm, refreshments at 3.30pm with the Service at 4pm. To take part, please book HERE!

Choral Evensong is a centuries-old tradition with a much-loved liturgy; sung responses, Old Testament psalms (with their mantra-like repetition creating a peaceful atmosphere), the exuberant Magnificat, the solemn Nunc Dimittis, an anthem follows that fits the mood of the day, a second hymn, sung by all, closes the service.
Whatever we may believe, the music carries us beyond the limitations of human words towards those things we cannot articulate and can give respite and inspiration in our busy modern lives. For our current music list CLICK HERE
