Choral Evensong, Sunday 21st June, 2026
Led by our organist Morley Whitehead, the choir will lead a service of Choral Evensong at 6.30pm on Sunday 21st June. Evensong is a church service, most commonly associated with the Church of England (it has never played much of a part within the Church of Scotland), and is traditionally held near twilight. It focusses on singing psalms and other biblical canticles, usually in the Anglican church music tradition. It is loosely based on the canonical hours of vespers and compline. Old English speakers translated the Latin word vesperas as æfensang, which became ‘evensong’ in modern English.
Our Choir plays a major part in our morning services from October through to June, and we remain grateful to them for this contribution to our worship.
The service on 21st June will also provide an opportunity to make donations to go towards the funding of choral scholarships into the future.
