I am so glad I went. It exceeded my expectations. Wow. It was very, very good. Very professionally done. Very slick & precise.

Beautiful chapel. One of the most striking I have seen in New England.

What really blew me away was the ORGAN. So resonant. And it was masterfully played 'Nicholas White' (b. 1967) the School's Director of Music & Organist. He is good. I was most impressed. He had also written a Carol 'Lullaby to the Mother of God' just for this Festival -- their 54th. It, cleverly juxtapositioning English & Latin was catchy, inspiring and reverential. I would like to hear it again. Maybe he will put in on YouTube.

The Choir was outstanding. Best I have heard in a long time. 

The Readings, including one by the 'Mayor of Concord', were spot on. One in an African accent was a true delight. Wow.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I plan to make it a yearly Christmas tradition like 'Revels'.

Very nice, friendly, WELCOMING crowd & one heck of a school.

Made the private school I attended in England, outside London, look third rate!
