Music Programme

The world famous choir of St Paul's Cathedral performs music at Evensong every day during term time and at three services on a Sunday. In addition to the music St Paul's runs a year-long programme of liturgical events and concerts.

This includes performances with orchestra of Handel's Messiah in Advent and Bach's St John Passion before Easter; three Meditations of words and music during Holy Week; and five Processional Carol Services to mark the liturgical year at Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Passiontide and Pentecost. On feast days, the 12.30pm Eucharist often includes music sung by the Cathedral Consort.
