Through January 2nd, our hosts’ airshifts have been juggled around a bit – but don’t worry, they’ll return to normal on Wednesday, January 3rd!

From Sunday, December 24 at 12:01am through Monday, December 25 at Midnight, it’s our 48 Hours of Christmas – with programming of only Christmas music for both days – and that includes the special live broadcast on the morning of the 24th from 7-8:30 of A Festival of 9 Lessons and Carols: a live, world-wide Christmas Eve broadcast of readings, carols, and related seasonal Classical music. This special will be presented by one of the world’s foremost choirs of men and boys, and performed in an acoustically and architecturally renowned venue: the 500-year-old Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge, England.

And we’ll be heading toward the New Year with an Encore Broadcast of the Classical California Ultimate Playlist! Counting down listener selected favorites as 2023 comes to an end.
