Sundays at 5 is our series of Choral Evensongs, special concerts and special liturgies, held about once per month, usually at 5 p.m. on Saturdays or Sundays in September through May. Evensongs are typically Tuesdays at 6 p.m. We welcome guest choirs, guest organists and other instrumentalists to be a part of these special events and services that are free of charge and open to the public. The Carl Broman Series enables a guest organist to present a full-length organ recital each year.
