December 25, 2024 - A Christmas Carol, Blue Heron Vocal Ensemble, and the Wurlitzer pipe organ

from The Culture Show Podcast

It’s a story for the past, present  and future: Charles Dickens’  “A Christmas Carol.”  Though it was a reflection of Dickens’ times, the struggle between selfishness and  selflessness endures. In Ebeneezer Scrooge, Dickens created both an antagonist and protagonist  who went from being a covetous curmudgeon to a repentant man. Today we’re serving up two scoops of Scrooge  with actors David Coffee and Karen MacDonald about what it takes to the iconic character.From there  we hit the pause button on the Santaland soundtrack to make room for  Blue Heron. The vocal ensemble takes us back to 15th century England with medieval music that will put you in the holiday spirit of yore.Finally, the gift that keeps on giving,  the mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ that’s been wowing audiences in Worcester for years.
