Other festive classical offerings will include “A Colorado Choral Christmas,” and a broadcast of Handel’s “Messiah” from the Colorado Bach Ensemble. See “ A Classical Colorado Christmas” for the full schedule.
OpenAir is also asking listeners to rank the top 100 albums of 2014. Cast your vote by Dec. 17 and then tune in on New Year’s Day to hear the results—a playlist of the best new music of the year.
In addition to these musical highlights, stay tuned for holiday features all month long on CPR News, including the Arts Bureau’s behind-the-scenes look at producing The Nutcracker, a gallery of Colorado holiday photos from the Denver Public Library archive and an end-of-year retrospective of the best of film, books, music and art from “ Colorado Matters.” CPR News will also broadcast popular national programs like “ Hanukkah Lights” and “ Tinsel Tales.”
