This is going to be so special: the centenary of the longest running outside broadcast in the history of British radio. Very much looking forward to being there next week.
Westminster Abbey
@wabbeySep 30
BBC Radio 3's Choral Evensong programme will celebrate its 100th anniversary with a special broadcast live from the Abbey on Wednesday 7 October. The service will be sung by @WAbbeyChoir, conducted by Organist & Master of the Choristers Andrew Nethsingha. It will include music by Howells and Parry, whose repertoire has featured prominently over the last 100 years, together with the world premier of an introit composed especially for the occasion by Kerensa Briggs. Apart from a short break in 1970, Choral Evensong has been broadcast every week since its very first transmission. That service was live on the National Programme from Westminster Abbey on Thursday 7 October 1926. Even during the war years Choral Evensong maintained its position in the schedules - although for two years from 1940 to 1942 the venues were not revealed by Radio Times and the programme was listed simply as coming from 'a Public School Chapel' or 'a Western or Northern Cathedral'. Over 80 different cathedrals, churches and chapels have since been visited. Listeners in the UK can hear Wednesday's service live on Radio 3 or on demand for 30 days on BBC Sounds. It will also be repeated on Radio 3 at 6pm (BST) on Sunday 11 October. Find out more: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m003215…
An elevated, wide-angle shot captures Evensong at Westminster Abbey, focusing on the choir stalls lining the central aisle. The aisle features a prominent black-and-white checkered floor leading to the distant, ornate golden altar. On both sides, members of the choir, dressed in traditional red and white vestments, sit in wooden pews beneath high, intricately carved golden screens. Small, glowing red lamps are spaced along the pews in front of the singers. Congregants fill the remaining seats and stand in the background, facing inward. Tall Gothic stone pillars and pointed arches rise toward the vaulted ceiling, with natural light streaming in from stained glass windows on the right, illuminating the historic stone architecture.

It was wonderful to welcome the Revd Canon Liz Leaver as the Cathedral’s new Canon Pastor at Evensong last night. In her new role Canon Liz will take the lead in the pastoral care of the Cathedral congregation and community, and she will oversee the hospitality and welcome given to the hundreds of pilgrims and visitors who come to the Cathedral each year. The Dean of Norwich, the Very Revd Dr Andrew Braddock, said: “We are delighted to welcome Liz as the Cathedral’s new Canon Pastor. She brings a wealth of ministerial experience, including from parish, school and hospital settings. We look forward to all that she will contribute to the Cathedral’s life.” cathedral.org.uk/news/new-ca…
