Evensong is a unique, 45-minute meditative service of psalms, canticles, hymns, and anthems, sung by the choir. There is no sermon — instead, the music, scripture, and stillness create space for inward reflection and personal devotion.

Rooted in the ancient monastic offices of Vespers and Compline, this traditional Anglican service has been shaped by the greatest composers from England and around the world since the Reformation in the 16th century. Tallis, Byrd, Howells, Britten — generation after generation has poured profound spiritual feeling into this repertoire, building a tradition that is both uplifting and deeply beautiful.

As the sun lowers, and the day gives way to evening, Evensong is there — with music and scripture that touch something words alone cannot reach, and light the way into the night.
​
People of all backgrounds and beliefs have found themselves moved in ways they didn't expect. Many walk away with a renewed sense of hope and peace. We warmly invite you to come and experience it for yourself.
