Evensong
Sunday, November 2, 5:30 p.m.
Evensong is the ancient service of vespers and is sung daily in most cathedrals throughout the world. Saint Paul's Church's version of the service is identical to those sung in these cathedrals, with much of the 50 minute service sung without accompaniment.
The choir will premier Philip Stopford's "Belfast Evening Canticles." Mr. Stopford composed this music for St. Anne's Cathedral, Belfast, Ireland, and the performance by the Augusta choir will be one of the first in the United States. Also included in the service will be music of Richard Ayleward and Edgar Bainton.
A reception in Tyler Hall will follow.
