Advent Voices on WRTI 90.1: Sunday, December 3rd at 4 PM

Listen to this special program on Sunday, December 3 at 4 pm on WRTI 90.1.

Advent is a time of quiet contemplation and waiting. It's waiting for darkness to become light, and for hopes to be realized. Throughout the centuries, Advent has been observed musically in sacred and secular ways.

Join host Lynne Warfel from American Public Media for an hour of the most beautiful vocal music inspired by and written for Advent. It's contemplative music related to the Advent season and the Christmas story. Sunday, December 3rd at 4 pm.
