The Reformation in Five Evensongs

As well as being a revolution of ideas, the Reformation saw huge changes to the music of the Church, with new music written by composers whose work remains alive in worship to this day - the likes of William Byrd and Thomas Tallis.

This series of Choral Evensongs across every Sunday in October will explore the music of the Reformation, sung by the St Paul's Cathedral Choir, with sermons looking in more detail about the Reformation and focusing a particular English monarch.

As with every service at St Paul's, there is no charge.
