Come to St.-Anne’s-in-the-Fields Church on Sunday, February 9 at 5 p.m. for “Choral Evensong.” The event will feature choral music of the English renaissance, including Gibbons’ “Short Service” (a classic setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis), Batten’s exuberant “O Sing Joyfully,” and familiar hymns of Tallis and Purcell. Early baroque organ music by Buxtehude and Pachelbel will open and close the service. A wine and cheese reception will follow. Admission and parking are free.
