The concert -- a spiritually moving and communal holiday experience -- was recorded live on Saturday, Dec. 19, at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston. It will be aired on the radio station’s “No Ticket Required” program.

According to UPAC, a sold-out performance last season by the Philharmonic and Cappella Festiva bought audience members to their feet for the Halleluiah chorus.

It was directed by Christine Howlett.

The 24-hour station is available on your radio dial at WRHV-FM 88.7 in the Poughkeepsie area, and at WMHT-FM 89.1 in the state’s Capital Region.

It is also available via HD radio.
