Could it be that Colorado’s large bovine audience could benefit from a little more classical music?

We’re celebrating the achievements of the Class of 2021, students whose entire senior year took place in a global pandemic, by putting them on the air!

Colorado Matters host Ryan Warner from CPR News paid special tribute to CPR Classical’s Ray White last week.

Conductor Marin Alsop stands firm in her commitment to championing the works of women composers. These are 10 women composers she believes you should be listening to right now but cautions, “there are at least 50 who I can think of off the top of my head who are worth listening to and deserve to be represented.”

Holland speaks with Monika Vischer about the new radio feature, Journey to Freedom: The Spiritual Radio Project and explains the origins of the African-American Spiritual.

Ray White, a veteran radio host whose nearly 50-year career spanned musical genres from coast to coast, died Sunday of cancer. White was most recently the afternoon host on CPR Classical from Colorado Public Radio.

CPR Classical is proud to partner with the Vilar Performing Arts Center for this live stream of the world-renowned Takács Quartet, Sunday, March 7 at 7:00 p.m. MST.

Beethoven lived in a time of revolution. The American Revolution began just after he was born and the French Revolution ignited when he was a coming-of-age 18-year-old.

It’s the festive four! Who will move on to be in the championship round?
