The ancient practice of singing evening prayers is a longstanding practice in many Christian traditions. In English cathedrals, this practice developed through the centuries into a special sung service. Today, Choral Evensong is a treasure among Christian liturgies and a jewel of the Anglican choral tradition. The Saint Mark’s Evensong Choir, an intergenerational choir of children, teenagers, and adults, offers this beautiful service once a month, on the first Sunday October-May. All are welcome. Attendance is free in-person or live streamed. More info: Choral Evensong • Saint Mark’s Cathedral and Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral (saintmarks.org)
