Advent Lessons and Carols at Nashotah House

Nashotah House Theological Seminary is pleased to invite you to livestream our Service of Advent Lessons and Carols at 5:00 p.m CDT on December 9, 2021. Extended prelude begins at 4:45 p.m.

Organist-in-residence, Thomas Heidenreich, will offer an extended prelude beginning at 4:45 p.m. The Nashotah Choral Scholars, our organ, and the entire community combine to create an inspired liturgy of words and song. 

Based upon the original Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols intended for Christmas, this service anticipates the coming of Our Lord with Advent hymns, anthems, readings, and prayers in our beautiful St. Mary’s Chapel. The music is drawn from over a thousand years of melodies, from plainsong to well-known hymns and twenty-first-century compositions by Andrew Smith, John Scott, Richard Woodward, Benjamin Britten, Andrew Carter, and Geoffrey Williams. 

The public is invited, but seating is limited and masks are required. The link to watch online will be live on December 9 at 5:00 p.m. https://nashotah.edu/carols
