BW Holiday Concert Featured on Radio and Television

As it does every year, BW helped the community ring in the season with three sold-out holiday concerts over the weekend, but replays of music will keep entertaining radio and television audiences throughout the rest of the holiday season.

Sunday’s Conservatory Annual Holiday Concert featured talented student musicians in the BW Motet, University and Women's Choirs,  BW Singers, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Jazztet and Music Theater program, while the BW Men's Chorus performed holiday favorites along with student ensemble Mr. Sun's Echo in two concerts on Saturday.

By popular demand, Men's Chorus also was invited back to the Idea Center at Playhouse Square to sing parts of their holiday concert in a live radio broadcast. Under the direction of Frank Bianchi, the group performed for appreciative audiences on WCLV radio and in the Idea Center studios.

If you missed it live, WCLV will re-broadcast the Men’s Chorus concert on Dec. 24 at 6 p.m. on 104.9 FM or wclv.org.  WVIZ-TV’s arts program “Applause” will also feature footage from the Men’s Chorus performance on December 25 at 7:30 p.m., December 27 at 4 p.m,. and December 28 at 12:30 p.m.
