East London Evensong Choir brings singers together to enable high quality liturgical singing in London's East End.

The East London Evensong Choir was founded in 2016 by its musical director Jonathan Pease.

Our vision is simple: to harness the wealth of musical talent in east London; and to enable choral

worship of the highest standard in London's East End, drawing particularly on the riches of the

Book of Common Prayer.

Initially resident at Christ Church Isle of Dogs, the choir soon developed a busy life of its own,

visiting Parish Churches across the East End - a practice described as "hit-and-run Evensong"

by the Dean of Chelmsford Cathedral.

In September 2021, the choir entered into a partnership with All Saints', Poplar, leading a service of Evensong on the second Sunday of each month. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Prayer Book Society in helping us to raise funds for this ambitious  undertaking.

In October 2023, the choir entered into a new partnership with St. John on Bethnal Green. In September 2024, a brand new Wednesday evening service was launched at St. John's.

This will become weekly from September 2025.

Details of forthcoming services are listed on our Future Dates page.
