Lessons & Carols at The Brick Presbyterian Church

The 2024–25 season of Worship & Arts at Brick Presbyterian Church continues with a service of Nine Lessons & Carols, featuring the U.S. premiere of Margaretha Christina de Jong’s In the Bleak Midwinter, on Sunday, December 22nd at 4:00 PM at The Brick Presbyterian Church, 1140 Park Avenue, Manhattan.

The Lessons and Carols ceremony at Brick Church is modeled after the service started at Truro Cathedral in 1880 and first sung at Cambridge's King’s College Chapel in 1918. By flickering candlelight, it tells the Christmas story through music, weaving together anthems sung by the choir, communal Christmas carols, and readings from Scripture. This year’s repertoire includes carols by William Mathias, Elizabeth Poston, Cecilia McDowall, Sally Beamish, David Willcocks, Robert Lucas Pearsall, and John Rutter, as well as the US première by Margaretha Christina de Jong.
