Holiday Song b oo k 2 2 Holiday Songbook 2020 Each December, the hosts of WXXI Classical present our listeners with the gift of seasonal music, a gift that is very much needed this year. You can find many of the selections in our Holiday Songbook, a list of major works curated and complied by Music director Julia Figueras. But there’s always so much more. In addition, as part of Beethoven’s 250th birthday celebration, WXXI Classical will present listeners with our top Beethoven favorites during the 12 Days of Ludwig (Dec 7-18), culminating with Beethoven’s beloved 9th Symphony, Choral beginning at 2:00pm on the 18th. Whether you celebrate the winter solstice, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa or simply getting through 2020, we wish you all a happy, safe and healthy holiday season and a Happy New Year.
