A Rochester Festival of Lessons and Carols was recorded at Third Presbyterian Church under the direction of organist/choirmaster James Kealey, winner of the AGO 2022 National Young Artists Competition in Organ Performance.

The one-hour program consists of the traditional readings by Third Church clergy and congregants, Christmas anthems by Boris Ord, C V Stanford, Sir John Rutter and Morten Lauridsen sung by the Chancel Choir and Third Church Choristers, and several traditional carols.

Third Presbyterian’s Chancel Choir includes both professional and amateur singers, drawing on the rich talent of the Eastman School of Music, the local musical community, and the congregation of Third Presbyterian Church.
