Following a memorable experience singing Choral Evensong at St George’s Chapel, Windsor in July 2023, Banbury Choral has been invited to sing Evensong as the visiting choir at Peterborough Cathedral on Saturday 4th July at 5.30pm. Evensong is a living tradition to which everyone is welcome to attend free of charge.

Music heard at Evensong could have been composed 500 years ago or even yesterday. It is a wonderful time of reflection sung between the active day and the restful night. The choir will be accompanied by organist, Charles Matthews.

The music for evensong includes:

• Tallis responses

• Herbert Brewer ‘Canticles in D Major’

• Brahms ‘How Lovely are thy Dwellings Fair’

• Psalm 23

• Hymn by William Knapp from poem by Alfred Tennyson
