Shorter choral evensong service sung by the Birmingham Cathedral Choir in traditional language from the Book of Common Prayer.
Birmingham Cathedral is running a shorter choral evensong on Tuesday 27 October, with the Birmingham Cathedral Choir singing. It's a compact version of the full service, sung in the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer.
If you're not familiar with how it works, choral evensong is one of the cathedral's regular services, and this particular one is a shorter form of it. The choir takes the lead on the singing, and the whole thing follows the Book of Common Prayer, so it's the traditional English liturgy rather than a modern version. It's a quiet, reflective way to spend a bit of time in the middle of the city.
This shorter service runs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the choir term, so it's a more manageable alternative to the full evensong, which the cathedral usually schedules on Fridays and on Sundays with hymns and a sermon. If you've only ever known the longer version, this is a good way to get the same choral experience in a smaller window. The choir is the same one that sings the full services, so you're hearing the same voices, just a more condensed service.
