Georgia Public Broadcasting will be playing exerpts from this year's performance of "An Atlanta Christmas" Friday, December 23, 2005 at 3:00pm as part of their "Georgia Gazette" program.
Go here http://www.gpb.org/public/radio/index.jsp?pcode=network and find a station you're near to listen. Unfortunately, GPB does not have a member station in Atlanta itself, so if you're in the heart of the city you probably won't be able to pick it up, but many of the outer sections of the metro area can pick up Columbus or Athens. If none of those work for you, you can listen online!
Tune in and hear old favorites like "The Santa Claus Blues", "The Ultimate Christmas Pageant", and the seldom heard "USO Christmas". There will also be brand new work like "The Zen Santa Claus", "The Experts", and what is fast becoming a cast favorite, "The Legend of the Poinsettia". Not to mention the new song composed and performed by Alton Leonard, "Old Atlanta Christmas".
So tell all your friends, tune in for some family holiday fun, Don't Touch That Dial, and remember...
There is Adventure in Sound!
