Choral Evensong at Trinity Concord
For many years, Choirs from the neighboring Episcopal Parishes of St. Anne's in the Fields in Lincoln, St. Elizabeth's in Sudbury, Trinity in Concord, and Good Shepherd in Acton have gathered in the spring to sing together in a joint service. This tradition stopped during the recent pandemic, but will resume again in a service of Choral Evensong on Sunday May 19, at 5:00 pm at Trinity at 81 Elm St. in Concord.
Choral Evensong is a more than 500 year old sung prayer tradition offered in cathedrals in England as well as many Anglican and Episcopal parishes throughout the world. Music sung by the combined choirs will include works by Philip Radcliffe, C. V. Stanford, and Everett Titcomb, who was for many years the musician at the Parish of St. John the Evangelist in Boston's Beacon Hill. The service is free and open to all.
