Visiting Service Choir Application Process


Visiting choirs familiar with the liturgy of the Episcopal/Anglican Church (specifically Choral Evensong and Choral Holy Eucharist), and experienced in singing service repertoire (Anglican chant, Communion Service, Responses, etc.) will be considered for an invitation to sing services during the following times:

  • Any or all choral services in a given week during July
    Sunday Eucharist at 8:45 am & 11:15 am
    Sunday Evensong at 4 pm
    Weekday Evensong at 5:30 pm
  • Office of Evensong on Fridays (all months excluding June)

We are currently scheduling choirs to sing through August 2008s.

 

If you are interested in having your choir sing at Washington National Cathedral during the coming year for a service, please send the following:

  • a letter of recommendation from a member of the clergy who can speak of your choir’s recent experience singing Evensong
