Evensong

Naturally, we're trying hard to make it to St.Bride's as often as possible -- usually a couple of time a month. It is afterall the place where we'll soon be married. But it is a truly lovely place and something we both feel strongly connected to. It's so nice to be on the electoral roll there and to be part of the parish's open and welcoming community.

Not only is St. Bride's a wonderful example of Wren's genius, but it's a spectacular building of quiet and peace.

But worthy of note is that the choir is amazing and Evensong is when they really shine. Afterall, this service is really all about them and their songs of praise. The musical selection at Evensong is always challenging and a real test of their ability and importantly, they never fail to delight.

As the 6:30pm on a Sunday slot is rarely well attended it's like having a private concert. And with outstanding acoustics and the idyllic setting one cannot help but feel very privilidged.

OK, they come at a price, but are so incredibly talented, their contribution to our own little service will be phenomonal.
