Pentecost Evensong

Christ Church Cathedral invites you to a special Evensong on Pentecost Sunday. The Cathedral Choir will celebrate Pentecost with the music by British and American composers at Evensong on Sunday, June 5, beginning at 5 p.m. Featured works will be the Festival Te Deumby, Benjamin Britten, and Leo Sowerby’s Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in D Major.

An organ recital will precede Evensong at 4:15 p.m. Daryl Robinson and Matthew Dion will perform works by César Franck, Libby Larsen, Dietrich Buxtehude, Larry King’s “Revelations of St. John the Divine” for organ and pre-recorded tape, and David Briggs’ “Variations on Veni Creator” for organ duet.

Children are welcome and encouraged to attend either the service or our professionally staffed childcare. You are also encouraged to join us for a reception in Reynolds Hall following the service.

Evensongs are the perfect opportunity to invite new friends or those curious about our Cathedral. This evensong is one of six choral evensongs throughout the year celebrating the major liturgical feast days.

The Reception Committee is looking for volunteers to donate finger foods for the event and help with set up and tear down. More information available at the cloister tables on Sundays May 8, 15, and 22 from 10-11 a.m.
