A Prairie Home Companion for December 26, 2015

In the Bleak Midwinter

Description

This week: one final live broadcast for 2015, from the cozy confines of the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We'll have the VocalEssence Ensemble Singers on hand for majestic choral arrangements to ease you gently out of the holiday rush, singer Ellis with a few of her joyful and uplifting compositions, and sensational seasonal songs of foreign lands from Lynn Peterson. Plus: our Royal Academy of Radio Actors, Sue Scott, Tim Russell, and Fred Newman, will show off their drama and comedy chops in scripts sure to make it onto plenty of year-end "best of" lists; and pianist and music director Rich Dworsky and The December Boys (bassist Larry Kohut, Richard Kriehn on mandolin and fiddle, and Chris Siebold on guitar) resolve to have everyone at the Fitz boogieing right out of their seats. We'll also get an update on the latest News from Lake Wobegon, where it's finally cold enough to turn on the heat without shame. Join us over the airwaves or watch live (5pm Central Time) at prairiehome.org this Saturday!
