Holiday Vespers will be broadcast
Taped show will run nationally on radio
By Brenden Sager

For those who missed the KU's sold-out Holiday Vespers performance last night, it will broadcast on radio stations coast to coast in mid-December.
The show was taped and will be broadcast on public radio stations, said Darrell Brogdon, program director at KANU. Brogdon is producing an hour-long tape of this year's best selections.
Brogden said that last year was the first time Vespers was broadcast nationwide on about 25 stations. After KANU announced that it would broadcast the concert again this year, the list of stations increased. Brogden said.
Vespers is a Catholic tradition of songs and prayers on holy days. At the University, it encompasses holiday celebrations of many faiths.
"It's our biggest event of the year in terms of ticket sales," said Stephen Anderson, chairman of the department of music and dance. Anderson was one of the organizers of Holiday Vespers at the Lied Center.
The matinee was sold out, and only a few tickets were left for last
night's show. Anderson said that he had expected about 4,000 people to come to the two shows — approximately the total capacity of the Lied Center.
That was just the most recent evolution in the University's 71-year-old holiday tradition.
Anderson said that he had helped with Vespers for 19 years. As the concert has developed, it has encompassed music and songs from other cultures.
Last year, selections from traditional Hanukkah songs were played, he said. This year, Vespers recognized the African-American Kwanzaa holiday — an observance of traditional African harvest festivals from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.
KU choirs sang an adaptation of the U2 song "MLK," which is about Martin Luther King, Jr.
"It all comes together at the last minute," said Simon Carrington, associate professor of music and dance. Carrington conducted the choirs, and Brian Priestman, the symphony orchestra's director, conducted the orchestra.
"I have to figure out how to make the whole thing work on stage," said Lee Saylor, Lied Center technical director.
Saylor has been preparing for Vespers since May with a crew that varied from four to 40, he said.
"Every year's a different challenge."
