About Ancient Voices
Ancient Voices airs twice a week on Classically Austin 89.5 KMFA: Sundays at 9 AM and 4 PM. It’s a one-hour program showcasing music from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and early Baroque. From sonorous medieval chant and polyphony to delightful renaissance madrigals and consort music to magnificent baroque cantatas and keyboard music, you’ll hear it all on Ancient Voices!

Ancient Voices is hosted by Sara Hessel, who first discovered her love of early music while studying at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. She brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to her presentation of the music.
