Listen to some John Tavener this week online

For the next week you can listen to some John Tavener online for free.

The Choir of King's College, Cambridge -- one of the most famous choirs in the world -- sings several works by Tavener on this week's broadcast of Choral Evensong from the BBC. This broadcast is in memory of Tavener, who had a close relationship with this choir. Tavener died this past November.

His music is especially at home in the truly incredible acoustic of King's College Chapel, one of the most remarkable spaces for singing in the world.

You can listen to this service for free online for the next seven days (about Jan 22-30). Don't miss it!
