Sunday, May 3 at 4 p.m.
Sung by the Cathedral Choir & Choristers

Beginning in May 2026, the Cathedral’s organ will be unavailable as we prepare to install the Hoover Memorial Organ. Consequently, the final two Choral Evensongs of the year will take place off campus. Choral Evensong on May 3 will be celebrated at Rockefeller Chapel at the University of Chicago. The Cathedral Choir and Choristers join forces for Howells’ iconic Collegium Regale setting of the evening canticles and music celebrating the legacy of Leo Sowerby, Hyde Park resident and Director of Music at St. James from 1927-1962.

Choral Repertoire:

Sowerby – Eternal light
Buzard – Preces & Responses on a Theme of Leo Sowerby
Howells – Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis Collegium Regale
Sowerby – Psalm 122
