ADMISSION&nbsp;FREEA Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is a traditional Christmas service that tells the story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus through nine short Bible readings (lessons) interspersed with carols and choir anthems. It was first devised in England for Christmas Eve in 1880 and later made popular by Kings College Cambridge with annual broadcasts since 1918 on the BBC. Hear the angelic voice of soprano Michelle Areyzaga singing the traditional “Once in Royal David’s City” and “O Holy Night” joined by the Resurrection Anglican Fellowship choir singing anthems and carols by your favorite composers. Fr. Alan Heatherington, former Music Director of the Lake Forest Symphony, Ars Viva and the Chicago Masters Singers has conducted this program every year since 2018.
