This year, Northwest Boychoir celebrates 33-years of holiday concerts with "Festival of Lessons & Carols", a holiday concert series that showcases the 90-member combined chorus of the Northwest Boychoir and Vocalpoint! Seattle.

Patterned after the Christmas Eve observance at King’s College in Cambridge, England, A Festival of Lessons & Carols has become a holiday tradition for thousands of families in the Puget Sound region. This classical performance consists of nine holiday readings, each followed by a traditional carol performed by the choir, and another carol sung by the choir and audience.

A Festival of Lessons & Carols concert will take place in Ballard on Sunday, Dec 18, at St. Alphonsus Church, 5816 15th Avenue NW. The performance begins at 7:00 p.m.

Concerts have reserved seating. Advance tickets are available through the Northwest Choirs at 206-524-3234 or online at http://www.nwchoirs.org.
