The choir will sing a Lenten Evensong at St. Paul’s featuring choral music by leading 17th Century English composer William Smith; Irish-born composer Sir Charles Villiers Stanford; 20th Century British composer Herbert Sumsion; and American composer Richard Wayne Dirksen.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is located at 414 East Broad Street in Westfield (near Euclid Avenue and across from Town Hall). Evensong is offered free to the general public. Area parking is also free.
