East London Evensong Choir brings singers together to lead
quality services of Choral Evensong 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, using the unique 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 - as well as singing at major churches and cathedrals
during choir holidays.
​
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. September 2024 will see the launch of a brand new Wednesday evening Evensong series at St. John's: a shorter 'weekday'-style service with a roster of fantastic guest preachers.

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