The Choir Loft
For many years, Sonoma Bach organized a weekly early-music radio show on a local NPR station.
Now The 
Choir Loft returns as a podcast, with a rotating group of hosts including  Steve Osborn, Dan Solter,
​Amanda McFadden and Bob Worth, as well as guest hosts who will bring fresh perspectives. Each episode focuses on a style, genre, ensemble or composer, with a mix of the best available recordings and illuminating commentary.
New episodes will be posted on Sunday mornings at 10 am.
Please join us in The 
Choir Loft to listen to some great early music!
