WVIA-FM Broadcast
To remember All-Saints Day, we broadcast portions of a 2014 program featuring Maurice Durufle’s beautiful Requiem and three of Marcel Dupre’s seldom heard Quatre Motets. This broadcast also serves as a fitting thank-you and farewell to Dr. Timothy Smith, organist and director of music for Covenant Presbyterian Church of Scranton, who will be retiring at the end of 2020. Dr. Smith accompanied these performances on the Covenant organ.
December 18, 2020 through January 2, 2021

With the support of a Lackawanna County Arts and Culture grant, we are pleased to offer a Virtual Service of Lessons and Carols. Partnering with The Lyric Consort, NEPA’s premier a cappella ensemble, we are recording new selections with both our Adult and Children’s voices while also drawing upon a variety of archival recordings. This music will be introduced by the Nine traditional scripture lessons, read by regional clergy and friends from the radio and theatrical communities, and matched to images of treasured sacred art and architecture. This stream will be available 24/7 for your free viewing from December 18th through January 2nd. Enjoy it as our gift to you for Christmas 2020.
Spring 2021 TBA
While we have not yet determined our activities for spring 2021, we will to continue to seek safe and fulfilling means to share great choral art music with you. Check back in January 2021 to see what we’ve planned.
