Wind & Rhythm - Easter
Friday, April 3rd, 1pm
Ever since the Council of Nicea in the year 325, the celebration of Easter has been referred to as a movable feast. So, the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus happens each year on a day formulated by a set of guidelines that has not been universally agreed upon. That was a tumultuous century and the council of Nicea was only one of the councils that formed the core of Christian practices. I only mention this because the music of Easter is less uncertain. In fact, to believers the core of the Christian faith rests with no doubt or this resurrection event. The music we’ll hear is confident.
The Soundtrack - Easter Special
Sunday, April 5th, Noon
Celebrate Easter on The Soundtrack with Haley Taylor with a journey through three beloved films tied to the season. From the charm of Irving Berlin’s Easter Parade, to the epic grandeur of Elmer Bernstein’s The Ten Commandments, to the powerful music of The Prince of Egypt by Hans Zimmer and Stephen Schwartz—Haley weaves personal memories, film history, and musical insight into a moving tribute to the scores that make these stories timeless. Whether it's Fred Astaire dancing through New York or Moses parting the Red Sea, this is an Easter special full of nostalgia, emotion, and unforgettable music.
