THE WORSHIP NETWORK LAUNCHES CLASSICAL WORSHIP PROGRAM FOR HOLIDAYS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – November 21, 2005 – The Worship Network recently completed filming at the newly renovated Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville for new Classical Worship programming that will begin airing during the holidays, announced Bruce Koblish, president of the Worship Network.

Classical Worship begins rotation on The Worship Network on November 22.  Six 30-minute programs will feature the music of the great composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Chopin and many more, set to The Worship Network’s signature stunning nature and art video images.  The Tennessee Theatre, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the Official State Theatre of Tennessee, was used as the backdrop for Classical Worship Host Paul Williams to add historic and inspirational perspective to the video and music. 
“Classical Worship allows viewers to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation, the inspiration of great art and architecture and the moving compositions of great classical composers,” said Koblish.  “It is ideal for this time of year; offering a serene and elegant backdrop for the holidays.  Classical Worship is a wonderful visual soundtrack for any gathering of friends and families at this time of year.”

During Classical Worship, The Worship Network will present a companion product offer.  Viewers can purchase a classical musical collection featuring Forever Classics, a 16-CD set featuring more than 19 hours of music; 101 Classical Greats, a five-CD collection including some of the greatest and most widely acclaimed compositions ever and Quiet Christmas, a CD of timeless holiday classics featuring the piano.
