A special Christmas and Holiday edition of Delmarva Today: Writer’s Edition
This is a special Holiday broadcast of Delmarva Today: Writer’s Edition composed of seasonal music and poetry, a personal reflection called A Gift of Warmth by Jane Elkin, and an encore performance of my Christmas drama, The Princess of the Garonne. Guests representing the acappella ensemble The Five Golden Rings, are Jane Elkin; co-founder of The Renaissance Singers of Annapolis; Marc Donnelly, director of that group, who also provides instrumental interludes; David Merrill, Director of Music and Arts at Woods Memorial Presbyterian Church in Severna Park; Henry Pazaryna , a Communications and Music student at UMBC; and Robert McGee, a founding Member of the Tidewater Chamber Singers. The poems are read by members of the ensemble as well as by Delmarva Public Radio’s Kara Dall Russell and Chris Ranck, and by your host. The Princess of the Garonne is performed by Lee Slater, Olivia Slater, and Madeleine Slater. And from the Community Players of Salisbury, Jim King, Tom Welsh, Judy Hearn, and Amiah Mumford.
