A festive Christmas program of traditional carol arrangements by John Rutter, David Willcocks, and Ralph Vaughan Williams; featuring organist Christopher Stroh. Accompanying the carols is a reading of A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas, narrated by Classical KING FM host Dave Beck. A family-friendly event, join us this holiday season for an evening of carols and storytelling.
