Christmas music on KWTU

KWTU 88.7, the University of Tulsa's classical music station, is giving listeners the gift of traditional sacred Christmas music. (Thanks to David Rollo for calling this to my attention.) Some highlights:

Tickets to the event, which takes place at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, are always gone months in advance.
