The Anglican service of Evensong is an ancient tradition, dating to the 1549 Book of Common Prayer. In keeping with this season’s theme, every Evensong will include the works of one or more women composers. The music, the sung and spoken words and the beautiful surroundings will bring you into a world of quiet reflection before a busy week begins, away from the endless distractions of modern life. Bring a friend! The entire community is welcome.
