Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys - Nine Lessons and Carols for Christmas

On the 100th anniversary of Lessons and Carols from King's College, Cambridge, Timothy Day wrote of this notable event: "The sound of King's College Choir can be aptly described as simply natural, unforced, no sense of strain even in the fortes, the tuning immaculate where the singing speaks with an unearthly silvery glitter....Today, just as when the first Lessons and Carols was sung in 1918, the choir is not striving to impress an audience. Rather they are attempting to voice the thoughts and hopes and aspirations of a community of listeners, losing themselves and sometimes, perhaps, finding themselves, in music-making of unforgettable beauty and truth."

This is the standard to which all choirs and congregations should strive in our singing...to lose ourselves and to find God.

May this year's presentation of Nine Lessons and Carols for Christmas by the Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys strive to help us all, singers and listeners alike, do just this.

We are thrilled that Richard Webster will return to Grand Rapids in December to take residency and will once again lead this year's Christmas services. Many of your favorite carols will return along with a few new thrilling surprises.
