Classical

Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Debussy, and their contemporaries may hold pride of place as classical’s standard bearers, but the music doesn’t stop there. Classical music spans the globe and the millennia, from the 12th century to the film scores of modern American composers John Williams and Danny Elfman. It is a living tradition, constantly redefining itself – still relevant and influential for millions of listeners. Classical music exists almost exclusively on public radio, with sounds ranging from opera to choral to contemporary and early music. If you’re listening to classical music on the radio, it’s virtually certain that it’s a public radio station.
