Clinton, NY 13323 | Radio Roots: Choir does National Broadcast (9-24-07) Choir Does Program On Mutual Network
The Hamilton College Choir under the direction of John L. Baldwin, Jr., will present a half hour radio concert over WOR in New York City on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. The program, a part of WOR’s regular weekly College Concert Series was transcribed Wednesday night in a two hour session. Twelve hundred alumni in the New York area have received cards informing them of the broadcast Sunday.
The program will include a few remarks by President Robert W. McEwen. Among the selections to be sung are Hamilton’s traditional marching song, Gather Close Ye Boys and Men, Carissima, and I Wonder As I Wander, with the tenor solo by Edward Draffin.
The Choir recorded a Christmas concert over the Mutual Broadcasting System last month but due to a conflict in programming Mutual’s central station WOR, was unable to air the program. Frank Muckenhaupt ’44, the director of the college concert program, arranged for WOR to broadcast this second recording.
Dave Hastings, the manager of the Choir, suggested that any good radio would be able to pick up the broadcast over WOR. Neil Harvey Gould wrote the script for the program, Dick Hehmeyer announced and Tony du Bourg supervised the recording.
