Be a Part of VIA’s ‘American Soundscape’ Special Presentation on July 4th

Saturday, July 4th at 12 p.m. VIA Radio will present the premiere of ‘VIA American Soundscape’. With many local Independence Day events being canceled this year due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic, VIA will air the Star-Spangled Banner & Pledge of Allegiance on both VIA Radio and VIA Television for viewers and listeners to pause and reflect in celebration of the birth of our nation.

The program then will continue for the remainder of the hour on VIA Radio featuring patriotic favorites, including Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, Tchaikovsky’s Finale from the 1812 Overture along with patriotic choral arrangements intertwined with stories of local citizens’ memories of the Fourth of July. VIA is encouraging the public to submit their stories to be featured on-air by using the hashtag #VIA4th and visiting the website wvia.org/4th.

Submissions are due by June 29, 2020.
