Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols

Friday, December 8, 2023 at 7:30 PM

First offered at King’s College Chapel, Cambridge, in 1918, the Christmas Eve Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols has become a mainstay of the Advent and Christmas season. In this re-enactment, Artistic Director (and former director of music at First English) Donald Meineke, organist Chris Oelkers, and 16-voice Ensemble VIII will join forces to offer this celebrated tradition to Greater Austin. The singers will read the traditional lessons interspersed by carols performed by the choir. The audience will be invited to sing along to some of the most beloved and familiar carols. Plan now to join Ensemble VIII for this memorable event on December 8 at 7:30 PM at St. Martin’s Lutheran Church, 606 W 15th St., Austin. Tickets: $30 general, $25 seniors, $5 students.
