When you listen to programs such as This American Life or Radiolab, you are drawn in by the storyteller (narrator, host), the story and the sounds that aurally illustrate the story. The elements are generally recorded separately and come together in the production room.  What the Atlantic Chamber Ensemble (ACE) did on May 14th in WCVE’s Studio A was to create a program with all of these elements live before a studio audience adding to it a top notch live concert to their program “Exercising Our Ear Muscles with the Atlantic Chamber Ensemble.”
