Regional Spotlight: Taste of the Holidays

Bathed in blue light Steve Staruch hosts some of the finest regional ensembles in MPR's annual Taste of the Holidays concert at the Fitzgerald Theatre. Much of the music is on MPR's new disc, but some of the extra can be heard right here.

It has been such fun this holiday season bringing together some of the most accomplished regional artists with strong Holiday repertoire for me to showcase in Classical Minnesota Public Radio's 'Taste of the Holidays' series.

And you know what, they had SO much great music, there was actual an over-abundance of gorgeous stuff and it's that spill-over I'd like to share with you today in a little "Taste of the Holidays" medley for Regional Spotlight.

Enjoy!
