Evensong Concerts
Every three years St. Paul's sponsors a Handbell Festival. This gathering of handbell ringers brings together handbell choirs from Portland to Salem. The participants attend an all-day workshop on Saturday leading to a concert of music for massed handbell choir and individual choir's performances. The November 2025 festival will be led by clinician Cathy Moklebust. A composer of hundreds of handbell pieces, Cathy comes to the Willamette Valley from Brookings, South Dakota. The audience will hear several of her compositions including a newly commissioned arrangement of "I Sing a Song of the Saints of God" in recognition of All Saints Day. The workshop will be held on Saturday, November 1st and the concert will be presented on Sunday, November 2nd at 4:00 p.m. There is no service of Evensong this day.
The concert is open to the public with free will donations accepted at the door or online at stpaulsoregon.org
