Music Specials
“Great musical programs last night. Merry Christmas!” – KSMQ Station Member
Premiere Date: December 19, 2023 Format: 1 x 30-minute, 1 x 60-minute
Description
Christmas with the Choral Arts Ensemble and an in-studio taping of local musicians in An Austin Christmas feature Minnesotans capturing the holiday spirit of the season for broadcast around
the holidays. An upcoming music special (in production) will feature a compilation of an Open Mic Night Jam at the Austin Arts Center, where KSMQ featured local musicians showcasing their original songs.
Impact
KSMQ has brought annual Christmas concerts to our viewers, featuring Christmas with the Choral Arts Ensemble and An Austin Christmas. Each brings a unique dynamic: An Austin Christmas features local musicians from our community performing in our own KSMQ studio, and Christmas with the Choral Arts Ensemble features Rochester’s premier singing groups. We believe we reach those who cannot leave their homes to attend these holiday concerts and keep them entertained and connected with family and friends who may be performing.
With the KSMQ Open Mic Night Jam, we encouraged local musicians to come out to perform their original songs to be featured on a KSMQ music special. (This is still in production.)
