Join us for our annual Christmas Lessons, December 14th 7pm, 15th 3pm and 17th 7pm at the Basilica of St Adalbert, 654 Davis Avenue, NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504.Free - no tickets needed, arrive early for best seating.
The 100th anniversary of Lessons & 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 & Carols for Christmas by the Grand Rapids Choir of Men & 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.
