CHORAL EVENSONG

​

​

Thank you for joining us for this service of choral evensong on the Eve of the Conversion of St Paul. Due to the national lockdown, the music is drawn from the Choir's recording archive, and several pieces have been recorded and edited together from isolation during this past week. The order of service can be found here.
