Music at St. Olaf to be featured on KARE 11 "Extra"

After spending Thanksgiving Day surrounded by good folk and good food, tune in KARE 11 at 10 p.m. when the evening EXTRA will feature music at St. Olaf College and much of what goes into the making of the St. Olaf Christmas Festival. Since the segment airs prior to the Christmas Festival concert, Twin Cities Public Television has allowed KARE 11 to use a portion of its 2001 PBS special, "Christmas at St. Olaf." A second broadcast of the EXTRA segment is tentatively set to air on the opening night of this year's Christmas Festival concert, Dec. 2. KARE 11's Emmy-award winning photojournalist Jim Douglas recently spent three days on campus where he spoke at length with Anton Armstrong and Robert Scholz, as well as with a number of our extraordinary students - notably Sonja Tengblad, Matt Johnson, Kate Mabuce, Tory Pence, Melinda Fechner, Ryan Christensen and Isaac Kidder, and filmed the St. Olaf Choir, Chapel Choir and St. Olaf Orchestra in rehearsals. KARE 11 reporter Joe Fryer tells our story.
