Fordham celebrated the Festival of Lessons and Carols on Dec. 7 at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle, adjacent to the Lincoln Center campus, in an evening featuring the University choirs and dance performances by students in the Ailey/Fordham B.F.A. in Dance program.

The annual tradition was also celebrated at the University Church at Rose Hill on Dec. 8, bringing together voices from the combined University choirs and the Bronx Arts Ensemble. President Tania Tetlow lent her own voice to the festivities, joining the choir singers and performing a solo of “Angels We Have Heard on High.”
