Holiday Music Spans Many Cultures

Print More

Robert Resnik, host of VPR’s All The Traditions, thinks of holiday music like he does candy canes. They may not be what you want all year long, but at this time of the year they taste just right.

Robert suggests brightening your holidays with music from different cultures. He likes listening to Irish harp, modern Hanukkah and  traditional Olde English tunes along with some Bing Crosby.
