Choral Evensong this month will be offered for the feast day of the notable abolitionist and social reformer Frederick Douglass. The service will include works by prominent black composers including a setting of "His eye is on the sparrow" by California-based composer Dr. Zanaida Stewart Robles. Evensong is sung by the St. John's Choir and Choristers on the third Wednesday of most months from September through May, beginning at 5:30 p.m. and followed by a reception in Togo West Parlor. Validated parking is available in the Colonial parking garage at 818 Connecticut Avenue, NW; ask an usher for a validation ticket before or after the service. Please mark your calendar and plan to join us! The service will also be available via livestream on our website.
