Music at Trinity: 2018 – 2019 Season
Experience the wonder and mystery of the ancient Choral Evensong
As the Trinity Choir prepares for its 2019 pilgrimage to England and France, Music at Trinity is offering a “Season of Evensong” with services of Choral Evensong throughout the 2018-2019 program year.
Evensong follows the traditional pattern in The Book of Common Prayer since 1549 and consists of psalms, canticles, and anthems for the evening. The structure of Evensong has three basic components: preparation, lessons, and prayer. The service invites respite and inspiration for our busy modern lives.
