The Byrd Ensemble and Allegra from the Seattle Girls Choir under the direction of Sarra Sharif Doyle present Lessons and Carols, a performance based on A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, popularized by the King's College Chapel since 1918. The program consists of nine readings, each followed by a traditional carol performed by the choir and another sung by the audience.

All tickets buyers will receive access to the livestream (link will be emailed out day of performance).
