INSPIRING CHRISTMAS MUSIC

Tonight we were treated to the fine music of two local college departments. First an hour of vocal music from several excellent vocal aggregations  of St. Olaf  University, then an equally fine series of new and old songs and pieces from the musicians of St. Thomas University in Saint Paul. In both cases we heard passionate performances from students of the universities, offering a wide variety of music from several nations. The recorded performances are undoubtedly available on DVD and in repeat television performances from the local public television station,  I commend them both to your ears.
