St John's Voices - Evensong

Choral Evensong has been central to our work ever since our formation in 2013. Alongside the exciting projects which the choir undertakes each term, Evensong remains at the heart of who we are and what we do.

We are so fortunate to be able to sing day by day in one of the world's finest acoustics for choral music, supported by the fine Mander organ, in the glorious Victorian gothic splendour of our College Chapel. Our repertoire ranges from early Renaissance to the present day, and takes in substantial works by major composers: the motets of JS Bach have featured regularly in our Evensongs, for instance. We are passionate advocates for contemporary music, and have commissioned at least one new work every year, including several pieces over the years written by our students.

We are delighted to be able to resume our services on Monday evening in Chapel but please note that attendance is currently restricted to resident members of the College and staff only. This decision will be regularly reviewed by the College and we hope very much that we will be able to welcome our families, friends and visitors before too long.
