Choral Evensong for Candlemas

January 30, 2023

Evensong for Candlemas features a congregational candlelight procession to symbolize Jesus as the light of the world. As proclaimed by the old man Simeon who said, “Mine eyes have seen thy salvation”, this service celebrates Christ's light during the darkest days of winter and will warm your heart with beauty and serenity.

Music by Byrd, Praetorius, Josquin, and Tallis. Stephen Buzard plays Bach's Schübler Chorales as a prelude to the service at 3:40pm.
