Evensong

Yesterday we went to hear Evensong at King's College Chapel. Dad and Joanie are visiting this week; through his various Cambridge connections, he was able to get us reserved seats in the main portion of the church. It was a memorable experience-- the building alone is very old and lovely, and the music was astonishingly beautiful. This page has some pictures of the exterior of the church; here is a page on the choir itself (the top picture is actually more or less exactly the view that we were seeing, although from a slightly different angle). The interior of the church dates back to the original construction (completed in 1547)-- it was amazing to sit in a seat made from an oak tree that grew in the first part of the 16th century.
