Anonymous 4
Today, the four women of Anonymous 4 join Fred Child for music and conversation. They tell the Christmas story of the Cherry Tree, a bit of a marital tiff between Joseph and Mary. They'll also sing selected English and American carols. Also in the show, Bruce Adolphe with the Piano Puzzler, and the hauntingly beautiful "Pastorales de Noel," by Andre Jolivet.
