Monroe's Public Radio station, KEDM 90.3 FM, located on the campus of the University of Louisiana at Monroe, will open the end-of-year holiday season by airing a series of special programs beginning on Dec. 8. The following is a listing of KEDM's holiday special broadcast schedule through Dec. 16:
"Welcome Christmas" – This lively musical program is a perennial broadcast favorite featuring the Minneapolis-based ensemble, VocalEssence. Recognized internationally as one of America's premier choral arts organizations, Vocal Essence is led by the visionary Philip Brunelle. Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2-3 p.m.
"Christmas Around the Country" – The best of classical holiday music from coast to coast, from churches to concert halls to auditoriums to town halls all across the nation in search of performances that express the best of the holiday season. Thursday, Dec. 10, 2-3 p.m.
"Tinsel Tales" – This program features stories from the National Public Radio archives that touch on the meaning of Christmas. NPR voices, past and present, tell stories of the season. Thursday, Dec. 10, 7-8 p.m.
"Hanukkah Lights" – A staple for nearly two decades, acclaimed authors explore Hanukkah stories written expressly for Hanukkah Lights. This year's show features brand new stories by Danit Brown, Michael Blumenthal and Rachel Shukert. Saturday, Dec. 12, 3-4 p.m.
"Christmas with Morehouse and Spelman Glee Clubs" – One of the great holiday traditions in America, the choirs of Morehouse and Spelman Colleges – two of the most prestigious historically black institutions in the nation – get together to present a spine-tingling concert program with their trademark mixture of spirituals and carols. Saturday, Dec. 12, 7-8 p.m.
"Happy Joyous Hanukkah" – Features a concert from New York City-based 2006 Grammy-award-winning band, the Klezmatics. Sunday, Dec.13, 7-8 p.m.
"Choirs and Carols: An NPR Christmas" – Hear musicians from around the world as they share special holiday moments including ancient harmonies from Trio Medieval, traditional carols from the Riga Dom Boys Choir, and a rarely heard Christmas song by Sibelius, straight from Finland's YL Choir. Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2-3 p.m.
"All Songs Considered for the Holidays" – A holiday tradition has begun. The not-so-plump but jolly Santa Robert Siegel, host of NPR's All Things Considered, and his magical elves are in their workshop, checking the list for the best fresh holiday songs. Once they're done, be ready for naughty and nice takes on an eclectic mix of music by emerging and breakout bands. Tuesday, Dec. 15, 7-8 p.m.
"In This House, On This Morning" – Welcome the holidays with Wynton Marsalis' first commissioned work that takes the form of a church service, packing brimstone, fire and a Sweet Embrace in the hands of drummer Herlin Riley, Saxophonists Wess "Warmdaddy" Anderson and Todd Williams, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and "Swing Doom" – the bassist Reginald Veal. With Marsalis on trumpet they give old Joshua some stiff competition on Call To Prayer, In This House, Alter Call, and more. Wednesday, Dec. 16, 7-8 p.m.
The KEDM holiday program schedule for the remainder of the season will follow at a later date.
