Choral Evensong
Choral Evensong is simply a fancy way of saying Evening Prayer—Sung. It is one of the great musical traditions of the Episcopal Church. Evensong is sung by one of Saint Mark's choirs or a visiting choir from other churches in the Diocese of Olympia.
Often one of Saint Mark's children or youth choirs sing Evensong. Singing Evensong affords our young singers the opportunity to learn chant and canticles, memorize creeds and prayers, and to sing anthems in styles ranging from traditional sacred music to world music from Latin America, Africa, Native American traditions and beyond.
Choral Evensong takes place Wednesday evenings at Saint Mark's, usually preceded by a community supper and followed by other program events, details about which you can find here.
