Choral Evensong Worship Service

Choral Evensong is a historic liturgy derived from Vespers and Compline, ancient monastic prayer services of the Christian church. Evensong at Duke Chapel follows the Book of Common Prayer, and features stirring choral and organ music of the English cathedral tradition, led by the Chapel's Evensong Singers. This final Evensong of the semester has music for the Advent season, including Otto Goldschmidt’s "A tender shoot," Responses by Gabriel Jackson, Herbert Howell’s "Evening Canticles in G," and Anthony Piccolo’s setting of the Advent Responsory "I look from afar."

Parking is available on a first-come-first-served basis in the Bryan Center garage at 125 Science Drive. ADA parking is available in the Bryan Center Surface Lot at the same address. For more parking options, visit chapel.duke.edu/visit-events/visit#parking.
