College of Saint Mary to Perform Lessons and Carols

OMAHA, Neb. – College of Saint Mary (CSM) will host its annual Christmas concert, Lessons and Carols at 7 p.m. Dec. 1 in Our Lady of Mercy Chapel. The event will feature the CSM Singers -- under the direction of Christopher Krampe, DMA -- soloists and musicians from the Omaha community.

“Lessons and Carols is a great start to the Advent and Christmas seasons,” Krampe said.

The beloved Christmas tradition began in England during the late 19th century. It has since gained worldwide popularity for its entertaining, beautiful depiction of the Christmas story. Scripture readings that tell the story of the promise of the Messiah and the birth of Jesus are interspersed with Christmas carols, hymns and choir music.
