Choral Evensong in the Season of Lent
Friday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m.
performed by the Cathedral Choir
Enter the reflective spirit of Lent through the beauty and solemnity of Choral Evensong. This contemplative service features music that speaks to themes of repentance, trust, and divine grace, including Orlando Gibbons’ poignant Drop, Drop, Slow Tears, Thomas Tallis’ stark Dorian Service, and J.S. Bach’s uplifting – and challenging – motet Fürchte dich nicht (“Be Not Afraid”). Rooted in the timeless traditions of Anglican worship, this Evensong offers a peaceful space for prayer, reflection, and renewal during the sacred season of Lent.
Choral repertoire:
Gibbons - Drop, drop slow tears
Plainsong - Preces & Responses
Tallis - Dorian Service
Bach - Fürchte dich nicht
A reception will follow in Kyle’s Place.

It is not uncommon for people to either dress casually or formally when visiting the Cathedral. Our priority is that you to feel comfortable. Children are always welcome at St. James. There is an open space to the front right of the pews for children to play under your supervision and a changing station for parents of our youngest members under the church in the restrooms.
