37th Annual Lessons and Carols

Piedmont University invites you to its beloved annual holiday event, Lessons and Carols, as it enters its 37th year on December 5th and 6th.

Lessons and Carols is one of the region’s most beloved events, a true Piedmont University tradition, a special time when the community gathers to welcome the holiday season. We are privileged and honored to share this incredible music event for our Piedmont family and community year after year.

This year's Lessons and Carols, directed by Bobby Ivey, Piedmont University Assistant Professor and Director of Choirs, will feature the Piedmont Chorale, the Sewell Organ, and the Cherokee Bluff High School Chorus, directed by Cherokee Bluff Choral Director Jenna Coon.

Lessons and Carols features a selection of readings, carols, and choir anthems to begin the holiday season. Some of the highlights of this year’s program will be See Amid the Winter’s Snow, by Dan Forrest, and Gloria Fanfare, by Jeffery Ames. The audience is invited to sing along with familiar carols accompanied by the organ and brass quintet. The singing of Silent Night during the candlelight section of the service is always a memorable and moving experience for everyone.

Lessons and Carols will be performed on Friday, December 5, and Saturday, December 6, at 7:30 P.M. at the Piedmont University Chapel. Tickets are available for presale and at the box office on the day of the event. 

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors & children. Ticket sales support our music students and allow us to continue providing the community with exceptional musical performances.
