Choirs and Carols: An NPR Christmas
Hear ancient harmonies from Trio Medieval, carols from the Riga Dom Boys Choir, and a rare Christmas song by Sibelius, from Finland's YL Choir. The Pittsburgh Brass unpacks a pair of 500-pound bells to ring in the holiday, and the members of Trio Voronezh tune up a balalaika or two. (Airing 2-3pm, this program pre-empts Marketplace and Bookworm. Part II of Michael Silverblatt's interview with Marilynne Robinson will be podcast and archived online.)
