Allegra from the Seattle Girls Choir under the direction of Sarra Sharif Doyle and the Byrd Ensemble will broadcast their annual performance of A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols popularized by the King's College Chapel. The program consists of nine readings, each followed by a traditional carol performed by the choir, and another sung by the audience. The program will air on Wednesday, December 23 at 7:30pm at www.ByrdEnsemble.com

Normally, we use ticket sales and donations collected from our performances to continue to pay for singers of the Byrd Ensemble. Unforunately, COVID has forced us off the stage and into the digital world. We see this as an opportuntiy to deliver you a more intimate version of our work in the comfort of your own home! While we can't see you in person, you can still support our work by making a donation or purchasing a virtual ticket.
