Evensong Program PDF
End the Lord’s day with this service of choral evening prayer, a centuries-old tradition. Choral Evensong is one of the rare occasions when the congregation is able to focus solely on their prayer, allowing the prayers and praises sung by the choir to be those of the entire faith community, and particularly this parish. Come and be part of this meaningful moment as we honor both the lives and messages that connect us in spirit and community.
Music by Tavener and the world premiere of Peachtree Canticles by Philip Stopford. This commission was made possible by Friends of Music member Warren T. Kennett.

Two Special Recognitions at This Service:
Blessing and Thanksgiving for the Doves of Peachtree Road on their final flight.
Blessing of the letters written for the All Souls’ Post Office.

After The Service
You are invited to the candlelit columbarium for a time of quiet reflection. There, the letters written in love and remembrance will be released in a final act of letting go and trusting in God’s eternal care.

Jeremy Filsell
England native Jeremy Filsell is one of a remarkably few keyboard virtuosi who concertizes equally as organist and pianist and frequently performs recitals featuring both instruments. With piano concerto repertoire from Mozart to Rachmaninoff, solo piano repertoire from Schubert to Howells to Gershwin, and a vast organ repertoire including the complete works of Marcel Dupré (Gramophone proclaimed his recordings of the complete Dupré to be “one of the greatest achievements in organ recording”), his programs offer delightful variety, interest, and suave British pomp. Dr. Filsell was the Director of Music and Organist of St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue in New York City from 2019 to 2025..
The Atlanta Summer Organ Festival was established in 1995 to help increase classical music performances in the summer and PRUMC joined as a host in 2002. To this day, the festival continues the tradition of offering a series of wonderful venues for both established and talented rising young organists.
