The office of choral Evensong, often referred to as “the jewel in the Anglican crown”, is a centuries-old musical tradition and has its roots in 16th-century England, when Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII, took parts of the existing offices of compline and vespers and shaped a new service of evening prayer.

Sung monthly by the Cathedral Choirs, this reflective and meditative service is open to all.
