Evensong Northampton For Girls Thursday at 6pm (term times)

Choral Evensong Northampton – records dating back to 1388 show that there were four daily services at All Hallows Church Northampton. Of which two were sung by the choir of Boys and Men. All Saints’ Church, the fine classical building that now stands on the site of All Hallows. Which was destroyed in the Fire of Northampton in 1675 and is proud to continue that tradition. Today there are separate choirs of boys. Who are supported by a back row of lay clerks and choral scholars, many of whom are former choristers, and girls.

These choirs sing at least three fully choral services a week. Mass on Sundays mornings, evensong on Wednesdays, Thursdays at 6:00. At Mass the choir sings a full Mass Setting, an offertory anthem and various other pieces of liturgical music. As well as leading the hymns, at Evensong the choirs sing an anthem, a canticle setting responses, and a psalm. The Music Department is led by the Director of Music, Jem Lowther, assisted by the Singing Tutor, Philip Slane.

The Choirs undertake regular foreign tours.
