SUMMARY:Come and Sing Evensong
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nSINGERS CAN DOWNLOAD MUSIC IN ADVANCE HERE.  \n(If you’d prefer to collect a copy in advance\, they are available from the Festival Office). \nIf ye love me – T. Tallis (1505-1585)\nThe Psalm (150) C.V . Stanford\nMagnificat & Nunc Dimitis:  T. T. Noble (1867-1953)\nAnthem: O thou the central orb – C. Wood (1866-1926)\nFollowing last year’s wonderful evensong\, we’re delighted to invite you to Come and Sing again in 2025. Join other local choir members and musicians for this special Festival Evensong at St John’s Church under the direction of Janet Coxwell and Steve Bowey with Christopher Sears playing the organ. \nDon’t worry if you have little or no experience of singing in a choir for Evensong. The idea of the afternoon is to gather people together from the musical community of Newbury\, to raise our voices and to enjoy taking part in something a little bit different. \nMusic for the service will be sent out in advance to those who register to sing\, ready for the rehearsal on the day. \nEvensong is held at many cathedrals and churches and provides a restful\, peaceful and contemplative time at the even point of the day\, between the end of the working day and night-time. Anyone can attend Choral Evensong: people of any faith or none\, everyone is welcome. \n\n  \nPerformers\nDirected by Janet Coxwell and Steve Bowey\nChristopher Sears organ \n\n\nTickets\n1.30pm rehearsal \n3.30pm service (ends approx. 4.30pm) \nFree – no ticket required \nSingers should register in advance by booking through the box office and selecting a voice part. \n  \n
