Your Host
Christa Wessel

When I was younger, I predicted I would become a professional French horn player, but the detour to radio feels somehow fated. I love sharing my enthusiasm for classical music!  I’ve been at All Classical Radio since 2007 and truly enjoy hosting Thursdays @ Three. It’s exciting to share live music on the air, to interact with both performers and a live audience, and to spotlight the artistic bounty of our region.
