Join Astbury church choir for another special Evensong on Sunday, 24th March.
Following the success of our Tudor Evensong last September when there were 40 singers, Choral Evensong for Holy Week will again focus on the late Tudor and early Jacobean repertoire – known as the golden age of English church music. There will be an introit, anthem, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, and responses for choir, with hymns for the congregation by composers including Weelkes, Tallis, Byrd and Farrant.
The afternoon rehearsal will be from 2.30 to 5.30 with a break for refreshments, and the service will be at 6.30.
To take part, or for more information, please contact our director of music, Sally Drage: [email protected] or 07977 903561. There is no charge but do book a place by Monday, 18th March. Music can be emailed out in advance, and midi files will be available.
