On Friday, Dec. 19, at 3 p.m., join us for Carol with Classical MPR, a new special featuring beloved carols. It culminates with a special live broadcast at 4 p.m., featuring The Singers vocal ensemble.
Led by Matthew Culloton, The Singers will perform 15 carols during the hour, and you're invited to sing along with your radio. Wherever you are — at home, at work (if you can get away with it), in your car, at a party — we invite all listeners to Carol with Classical MPR. We'll even provide lyrics so you can sing along word for word.
