The Choral Tradition   Rick Koster, The Day Arts Writer

"Despite its rich tradition as a religious rite dating back to the 16th century, Choral Evensong has broadened into an artful presentation that appeals to folks of any spiritual (or non-spiritual) persuasion — though functioning ears help."

"Basically, Choral Evensong takes place in afternoon or twilight and comprises readings from the Book of Common Prayer and the sung Anglican liturgy in cathedrals or chapels. But the clustered harmonies and beauty of the music and prayer have become renowned for the sheer artistic aesthetics of the event — as opposed to being a strictly religious phenomenon."

The Anglican Singers

are pleased to announce
the appointment of
Kevin Jones
as our new Director
and
George Chittenden
as our new Organist.

Kevin Jones is Canon Precentor and Director of Music at Christ Church Cathedral in Hartford, and also is a vocal division faculty member at the Hartt School where he serves as vocal coach and teaches courses in English, French and German diction. Over the past twenty years, he has amassed a wealth of experience in sacred music through his positions as choirmaster and organist at a number of churches, as well as founding and directing the Æxxus Music Ensemble in New York . His passionate interest in the service of Choral Evensong makes him a superb fit for our group, and we look forward to sharing our musical evolution with you. | Learn more about Kevin |
