Evensong Choir Pilgrimage
In the summer of 2018, The Evensong Choir served as Choir-in-Residence at Ely Cathedral, and at Saint Paul’s Cathedral, London. During these residencies, the choir sang the daily evensong service, in addition to the Sunday service of Holy Communion. On a day off from singing at Saint Paul's, they were honored to sing one service of evensong in Canterbury Cathedral, in the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Just Welby (pictured).
The choir then made its second trip to England in August of 2022, serving residencies in the cathedrals of Chichester and Bristol. (A significant portion of the funds for this trip came from everyone in our cathedral community who participated in the Hymnathon, Cabaret, and Psalmathon fundraisers held within the past eight months, for which the choir expresses its more sincere thanks.) This experience was transformative both musically and spiritually for all the members of the choir—
children, youth, and adults—and we look forward to repeating the experience approximately every three years.
