A Choral Evensong series on Music and Spirituality: The Desire of Heavenly Harmonies

Join us for our series on Music and Spirituality here at the Musicians’ Church. Four wonderful speakers take us through different aspects and approaches to music and how they relate it to their faith. We examine the role of praise in the Christian life, the linking of faith with a professional musical career, the relationship between sound and prayer, and the role of music as a signpost to deeper spiritual realities. These talks will happen as a part of Choral Evensong led by the Choir of Holy Sepulchre. Drinks will be served afterwards.

April 10th | 5:15 p.m:
How Can We Sing the Lord’s Song? Praise in Christ and in the Spirit.
Fr. Philip-Thomas Edwards, CSJ – The Brothers of St. John, London
