Listen & Donate! WTJU Classical Marathon brings soothing sounds December 9-15

Please join us December 9-15 for WTJU’s 2024 Classical Marathon. It’s a round-the-clock celebration of classical music, connecting centuries of tradition to the very moment you listen. Help ensure the superb music on WTJU continues to inspire you and our whole music-loving community in 2025. Please donate today!

New this year, WTJU’s Classical Marathon will feature five live performances, Monday through Saturday, 7-8 p.m. The lineup includes professional performers from the Early Music Access Project, as well as tremendously skilled students from Albemarle High School Orchestra and Choir, Western Albemarle High School Chamber Ensembles, and a special showcase of talent from The Music Emporium.

We’ve lined up 55 original programs for your listening pleasure – from Early Music and Baroque to Classical and Romantic favorites to compositions written this year. Plus a few shows that push the boundaries of “classical,” highlighting this music’s influence on our broader culture.

From inspired playlists to engaging volunteer hosts, WTJU amplifies the depth and diversity of classical music. When we listen and really hear what classical composers are saying, all of us feel the transformational power of music, together.

For 67 years, WTJU has been unwavering in our dedication to sharing classical music with everyone – for free. But it comes with real costs: studios and microphones, computers and broadcast equipment, building rent and staff time. WTJU is a partnership of everyone in our community who loves classical music – each playing our part as contributing members.

There are so many ways you count on WTJU for the rewards and riches of classical music. Let us know that WTJU can count on your vital support for this invaluable public service. Please donate today.
