Candlelight Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols
Advent’s Lessons and Carols has been an important Anglican ritual since the late 1800s. In the tradition of King’s College, Cambridge, an introspective journey of sacred stories and music helps prepare us for the Christmas Season. On Sunday, December 15, at 3:00pm. Lessons & Carols will provide you a moment of musical peace in this often-complicated world, as we offer spectacular carols and musical anthems from a long tradition of music of the season. This event will be presented in person and by livestream.
The St. John’s Choir School and Adult Choir; Walden Moore, interim choirmaster; John R. Abdenour, organist
