Inspired by the Anglican service of 'Evensong', this programme of timeless songs encompasses themes of love, freedom and hope, and provides an escape from the stresses and tensions of everyday life. During the performance, the audience will be taken on a tour of the cathedral, discovering the Bavokerk in a new way.
