The CHS Fine Arts Department presented its annual “Festival of Lessons and Carols” Wednesday evening at beautiful St. Louis Church in downtown Buffalo.
 
The Festival of Lessons and Carols is a traditional Christmas Eve service of King’s College in Cambridge, England that dates back more than 100 years.
 
The service features nine biblical readings ranging from the story of Adam and Eve to the beginning of the Gospel of St. John. Musical pieces – carols – provide opportunity for reflection on the texts.
 
Students read texts while there were performances by the chorus, orchestra ensemble, guitar ensemble, concert band, and handbells ensemble. 

The orchestra, concert band and handbells were under the direction of music teacher and band/orchestra director Kerri Rauschelbach; the guitar ensemble is directed by religion teacher Eric Koessler ‘84; the chorus is directed by Fine Arts Department Chair Kevin Durkin ‘98.
 
Letters and Carols will be performed for the CHS school community on Wednesday, Dec. 18 in Scaccia Auditorium; the performance was originally scheduled for Thursday (snow day).
