The St. Jude’s Evensong Choir NEW

The St. Jude’s Evensong Choir is an auditioned SATB+ choir that welcomes experienced singers who are seeking challenging repertoire but not a weekly rehearsal or service commitment. Evensong, which lasts approximately 45 minutes, is a traditional and unequally Anglican style of evening prayer that contains choral canticles, preces and responses, anthems, and hymns. The St. Jude’s Evensong Choir participates in unique annual services including the Memorial Garden Evensong, Christmas Nine Lessons and Carols, Holy Week liturgies, choir tours, and more.
