Community Day at NBMAA: Celebrate the Holiday

South Church

<h2>Step into the beauty and wonder of the Christmas season at South Church’s beloved Festival of Lessons and Carols. This cherished annual tradition weaves together timeless scripture readings, inspiring choral music, and familiar carols sung by the South Church Chancel Choir, conducted by Music Director, Frank R. Zilinyi, and accompanied by the glorious sound of our Gress-Miles pipe organ. From moments of quiet reflection to joyful bursts of song, this moving service captures the true spirit of the season. Following the Festival, stay for a light reception and browse our holiday market — a perfect way to continue the celebration with friends, family, and neighbors. Let your heart be lifted, your soul inspired, and your holiday season begin with light, music, and community. This event is free of charge and open to the public. A free-will donation will be accepted.</h2>
