+ East London Evensong Choir

‘Aim is to perform sacred choral music to the highest standard within its original liturgical setting, and to share this experience with congregations in East London. Initially resident at Christ Church Isle of Dogs, it now enjoys a busy life of its own. Alongside its primary mission of touring Parish Churches, "ELEC" also makes regular choir visits to major churches and cathedrals. Although, as envisaged, our membership is largely drawn from East London, it also includes singers from across the home counties and beyond. Members were quickly attracted by the opportunity to immerse themselves in a style of music which has fallen out of favour in many churches; not to mention the low commitment, high quality ethos of the choir. Alongside the many gems of the English Choral Tradition, we make a point of exploring European and American sacred music, and indeed some appropriate secular repertoire.‘
