Choral Evensong

On the third Sunday of every month, the Saint Nicholas youth choir and the Schola Cantorum adults offer Choral Evensong. Join us on Sunday, December 19, for an organ prelude that will begin at 4:15pm, followed by Choral Evensong at 4:30pm.

This wonderful, ancient liturgy takes the form of sung prayers, psalms, and the traditional evening canticles, the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis, along with a hymn and an anthem. The service is full of meditative moments, as well as the time-honored chanting of the appointed psalms for the day. It is the perfect way to begin or end a week.

Please join us as the choirs formally begin their preparation for our July 2022 Residency at Wells Cathedral in the UK. Choirs from all over the world sing this beautiful service week in and week out, and Saint Philip’s is the only choir in Southern Arizona that continues and affirms this Anglican tradition. Help us spread the word, and consider bringing a friend to church.
