“Our most eagerly anticipated shared broadcast event, the Euroradio Christmas Music Day, will take place this year on 15 December 2024. Once again, the day joins listeners together from all over Europe and beyond just before Christmas, to share in a marathon of concert broadcasts from country to country, every hour, on the hour. This year’s edition will feature 15 concerts from 11 countries, kicking off at 8:00 UTC with glorious French Noëls from Montreal, and landing in London with cellist Abel Selaocoe and the BBC Singers at 22:00 UTC. Other highlights include a stretch of live broadcasts from trio sonatas and Czech carols in Prague, a Christmas jazz spectacular from the WDR Big Band from Cologne, and a twist on Finnish carols with singer Emma Salokoski from Helsinki. Of course, no Christmas Music Day can be complete without Bach, so we’ll hear his cantatas from the incredible acoustics of Hallgrím's Church in Reykjavík, and before that, we’ll travel to medieval Riga to hear the old musical practices and instruments with Schola Cantorum Riga.”
