A Festival of Christmas Lessons and Carols will be presented on December 14th at 4:00pm at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 205 Elmwood Avenue, Lynchburg, Virginia, 24503. This beloved service combines the story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus as told in nine short Bible readings or lessons from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir anthems.

St. John’s Parish Choir will be joined by the 38-voice community group, Cantate Children’s and Youth Choir, for this beautiful Lynchburg Christmas tradition. Peggy Haas Howell will play the organ and conduct the a cappella carols, and Randall Speer will conduct the accompanied carols.

Featured carols will include “De Virgine Maria” by Swiss composer Carl Rütti and Oliver Tarney’s “The Wise Men and the Star”. Other carols are arranged by Gerald Near, Matthew Culloton, Erik Routley, David Willcocks, and Philip Ledger. The exciting organ work, “Christmas Intrada” by David Conte will begin the service.

Morgan Wade at the Academy

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Morgan Wade brings her raw, heartfelt storytelling to the Academy with a performance that reflects on her journey of self-discovery, sobriety, and resilience. Her latest album, The Party Is Over (Recovered), revisits songs she wrote between the ages of 19 and 22—capturing the highs and lows of youth, the search for identity, and the struggles with addiction that she has since overcome.

From the introspective lead single “East Coast” to the candid title track and the deeply personal new song “Hardwood Floor,” Wade’s music spans a range of emotions—loneliness, love, and the hard-earned wisdom of adulthood. Known for her powerful voice and genre-blending sound, Wade has toured with stars from Chris Stapleton to Alanis Morissette, earning critical acclaim both in Nashville and beyond.

This is a unique opportunity to experience an artist reflecting on the past while embracing the present, performing songs that reveal both vulnerability and strength in equal measure.

We hope you’ll join us for the season!

Tusk: The Classic Tribute to Fleetwood Mac

Playing the hits and deep cuts spanning the career of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame group Fleetwood Mac, Tusk has been crisscrossing the country since 2008 as The Classic Fleetwood Mac Tribute. Five pro musicians turned into masters of their trade through decades of individual music study, live performance, creative risk and devotion to the art. TUSK features note-perfect renditions of both the solo and full band songs, with each member specializing in one of the core lineup of Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood). They possess an electric stage presence that can only come from well over a decade touring together. Truly the best at what they do, TUSK is unmatched in their tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time.
