Come & Sing Evensong

You are warmly invited to a "Come and Sing" Evensong on Sunday 19th July in the beautiful church of St Mary Magdalene, Newark. Please help spread the word amongst your friends and contacts. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the ancient service of Choral Evensong from the inside - from within the choir itself. This service is one of the glories of the Church of England, part of our rich cultural heritage; this is your chance to take part. 

This is an opportunity to join with the regular choir to rehearse and sing a full service. Experience the thrill of singing in a church choir supported by professional musicians.

This event is for you if:
You've always wanted to sing in church choir, but are nervous to commit without trying it out
You want to sing in a church choir but can't do it regularly
You sing in another choir but don't get the chance to sing evensong usually
You used to sing in a choir, but haven't been able to recently
You simply fancy coming along

Timetable:
3.30pm Rehearsal (enter by the West Door facing Church Street)
4.30pm Tea and cake
5.00pm Evensong
5.55pm Finish


Music:
The canticles (Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis) will be sung to a magnificent setting by Charles Wood  (in E flat, no.2 )
The anthem will be "Reawakening" by Guy Turner. This wonderful piece received its first performances earlier this year and it is now your chance to sing it! It was commissioned to mark the end of the major building works stage of the Reawakening of St Mary's.
