St. Mark’s Concert Series: Lenten Evensong
A combination of the monastic services of vespers and compline, Evensong is a lovely, sung evening service led by the choir in which we thank God for the day that has passed and ask for peace and protection during the night ahead. The mostly unaccompanied music of the English Renaissance will give this evensong a contemplative, Lenten mood.
Communion will follow in the chapel.
