![Choral Music for St. Patrick's Day Choral Music for St. Patrick's Day](http://old.kbaq.org/sites/default/files/field/image/2024/03/choral%20music.png)
"May the road rise up to meet you" is an old Irish blessing that's been set for chorus countless times through the years. Tune in March 17 at 8PM as Phoenix-area bass singer and KBACH contributor Charles Newton presents an hour of choral music for St. Patrick's Day, from a 14th century plainchant, to Arvo Pärt's 21st century setting of St. Patrick's Breastplate.
