In keeping with tradition, the ensemble opens the year with a concert modeled on the Anglican Evensong service. Experience an afternoon of contemplation and reflection featuring non-sectarian readings and beautiful choral music, including Benjamin Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb and Francis Poulenc’s Un soir de neige (An Evening of Snow). Both works explore finding one’s place in the world and celebrating one’s truest nature.
