Regional Spotlight: Taste of the Holidays

St. Paul, Minn. — 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!
