Monika Vischer

When: Sunday from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. By Monika Vischer It’s hard to believe 20 years have passed since Sacred Classics first hit the airwaves on CPR Classical. The show has been called Sing! since 2019 but the inspirational music hasn’t changed. If you’re a long time Sunday morning listener, then we’re kindred spirits. Mark Sheldon started the program in November, 2003 after months of planning. He only hosted the first couple of weeks before succumbing to cancer on December 9, 2003.

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller, American author and political activist (1880-1968) At a time when we often feel divided, music holds the power to heal us and help us focus on what’s most important: connecting to others and to our humanity. Join CPR Classical’s Kabin Thomas and Monika Vischer for United in Music, a special hour devoted to conquering divides and finding common ground.

Classical music, and in fact American history is incomplete without understanding the story that spirituals tell, or hearing their melodies that can wrench the heart, elevate the soul and stick in the memory. This month, CPR Classical launches a yearlong exploration into these deeply moving works. M. Roger Holland II will collaborate with us, as he did over the holidays.
