Radio station WIHS, 104.9 FM in Middletown, Connecticut, has appointed David Spicer as director of music. He is responsible for all music that is aired and is the point person to review CDs that are submitted for airing. In addition, Spicer hosts a weekly program called “Glory, Praise, and Song,” which is entirely classical, and is heard from 1:00–1:30 p.m. on Sundays; during such times as Advent and Christmas, Palm Sunday, and Easter, the program is from 12:30–1:30 p.m.
WIHS is a Christian radio station and as such it reaches a large following in Connecticut and portions of Massachusetts and New York. The tastes of the listeners differs, as one could imagine. While “Glory, Praise, and Song” features music played on the pipe organ and sung by English cathedral choirs of men and boys, the majority of music played during other programs is largely contemporary Christian and various hymn settings. Listeners can tune in anywhere via the Internet at www.wihsradio.org.
David Spicer is the minister of music and the arts at the First Church of Christ in Wethersfield, Connecticut, and is the artistic director of the Albert Schweitzer Organ Festival, now housed at Trinity College in Hartford.
