This week we are thrilled to broadcast the 2019 Christmas With Choral Arts.  The concert was recorded at Baltimore’s Basilica of the Assumption on December 3, 2019.  Anthony Blake Clark is the Music Director of the BCAS and the reading soloists were WBJC’s Judith Krummeck and the Mayor of Baltimore Jack Young.  To fill we used some excerpts from the Baltimore Symphony’s Messiah conducted by Ed Polochick.
