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 continuing to live through difficult and uncertain times. The College seeks to protect our community and visitors and therefore, with regret, services in Chapel are not taking place until further notice.

We very much want you to be able to join in a virtual experience of Chapel worship for this term, and we are available online in various formats. The service will vary in length, but will usually last about 20 minutes. You may follow the Monday service on our Facebook page via this link.
