Choral Evensong

Evensong at 6.30 on the fourth Sunday of most months is fully choral, with sung canticles and responses, a chanted psalm and an anthem. Music is provided by choirs connected with the church, or by visiting choirs.

More about music at the church.

We aim to maintain a high standard of music at all services at King Charles, but these occasions give wider scope for worship to be enhanced through high quality music, in the cathedral tradition.

Any suggestions for (or from) choirs who might like to help us maintain a regular round of these services are very welcome. Please contact the parish office.

In 2007, evensongs have been sung by the King Charles Singers and Quorum. Other special evening services included a sung eucharist featuring Haydn's Nelson Mass, accompanied by strings, and a devotional service for Palm Sunday with music from Bach's St Matthew Passion. 

December 23rd, 2007
In December, the fourth Sunday coincides with the Christmas Carol Service, sung by the Parish and Junior Choirs and supernumeraries.
