Shoreline boys sing with elite Northwest Boychoir in “A Festival of Lessons & Carols”

Greg Guettler

Greg Guettler is a student at Einstein Middle School and Enrique Garcia is at Kellogg Middle School. Both boys have been singing with the Boychoir for many years and have risen through the ranks to join the elite performing choir level.

Now in its 37th season, A Festival of Lessons and Carols is a holiday tradition that showcases the 90-member combined chorus of the Northwest Boychoir and Vocalpoint! Seattle, all talented young people ages 10-18 who attend 53 local schools.

The eight regional performances, all conducted by Joseph Crnko, culminate at Benaroya Hall on December 23, when the Seattle Symphony, with members of the Northwest Sinfonia, presents the final performance of A Festival of Lessons and Carols.

Two other boys who recently graduated from the Boychoir and who join them in A Festival of Lessons and Carols, are also Shoreline students; Altay Sarikaya is at Shorecrest High School and Jacob Espling at Shorewood High School.
