Watch the video of last Sunday’s Choral Evensong on YouTube.
If you would like to participate in our next service live on Zoom video conference, please sign up to our mailing list to receive joining details.
This is the third in our series of ‘Evensong at Home’ services.
I am Director of Music at St James, and the music in this video is performed live by four members of the choir who also happen to be part of my family!
We set up a little studio in my home office, which is a cabin at the bottom of our garden (I have a digital organ there), and sang everything live during the service. Mother Katie led the service, and two more choir members read the lessons. One of our basses acted as host of the Zoom meeting.
We hope you enjoy it!
