Choral Evensong at All Saints Church


The Tibbits Festival at All Saints is proud to present a Choral Evensong on Saturday, August 6th at 5:00 PM.


"Evensong" is an evening prayer service in which psalms, canticles and prayers are sung or chanted. Anglican Evensong, combining the ancient offices of Vespers and Compline, is a service of rare and mystical beauty, in which the Word is illuminated through music. The program includes works by Edward Hopkins, A. Herbert Brewer and Felix Mendelssohn. This year's Festival also commemorates the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible.


The August 6th service features the Tibbits Festival Choir and professional vocalists from New York City. Director/ conductor Christopher Uhl is the Music Director at Hoosac School and of the Musica Sacra Choir and Chamber Orchestra in Mobile, Alabama. Organist Dan Foster is the founder and director of the acclaimed local chamber choir "Aoede Consort". Mr. Foster will be playing the Church's exquisite pipe organ, built in the 1860's by E. and G.G. Hook of Boston, the finest organ craftsmen of their era.


Choral Evensong is a service that people of all faith traditions will find beautiful and meaningful. Admission is free, and all are welcome!


All Saints Church is located on NY Route 7 in Hoosick, NY.
