May 3, 2015

A Prairie Home Companion was broadcast live from Sauder Concert Hall at Goshen College on May 2, 2015, featuring the Goshen College Choir and other local talent.

Garrison did his homework and featured Mennonite history, music, and his own brand of humor throughout the evening. The choir was prepped, but also told they might be handed lyrics at the last minute they'd never seen before. An admirable job by everyone--including amazing 17-year-old mandolin champion Ethan Setiawan. Garrison couldn't stop "playing" the audience--our hymn singing was his encore. And he continued for another hour in the tent outside the concert hall where the local public radio station had set up live video streaming.
