| Evensong for the Feast of the Epiphany Choir of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, California Christopher Putnam, associate organist John Fenstermaker, organist & choirmaster
Given the emphasis our culture places on Christmas, it is easy to forget Epiphany on January 6. It is, however, a feast with its own music and character. The superb choir of men and boys perform a complete liturgy of choral Evensong for Epiphany, with prayers, readings, and music.
