Overview


All Classical FM is Portland, Oregon’s classical radio station. Established in 1983, All Classical's mission is to provide classical music and fine arts information to listeners in Northwest Oregon, Southwest Washington and the world via the internet. We strive to increase audiences for local performers and performances, thereby further enhancing the region's cultural environment.

The stations of All Classical rebroadcast the All Classical signal from Portland. Beginning September 2008, All Classical's newest repeater station is 107.1 FM Portland, in a lease partnership with MetroEast Community Media of Gresham.

Classical music for the Hood River area became a reality with the launch of KQHR 90.1FM in November 2001.

All Classical  has added its newest permanent station this Halloween, KQDL 88.1 The Dalles. In May 2008, a long-time dream to have a classical station at the Oregon Coast became reality when KQOC 88.1 FM went on the air from Cape Foulweather. Our strongest signal in Oregon, this station reaches Tillamook and Cannon Beach to the north and Yachats to the south.

As non-commercial public radio stations, KQAC, KQHR, KQDL and KQOC rely on listener contributions, which provide over 60% of our budget. We also receive financial support from local businesses and arts organizations that underwrite our programming through on-air sponsorships. Additionally, a small portion of our annual budget comes from various foundation grants and from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Your contribution is held by All Classical Public Media, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving classical music radio and radio broadcast education in Portland. Tax-ID # 93-1042868.




All Classical SPOTLIGHT

Music for July 4th

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, picnics and parades, but music-making is at the top of our list this Saturday. Sprinkled throughout the day are familiar tunes by Peter Schickele, George Gershwin, Amy Beach and others. Also, enjoy incredible singing by Austin-based Conspirare on First Impressions at 3 p.m., along with more American music on The Score, Chicago Symphony and Club Mod.

From all of us at All Classical, have a lovely holiday.

Portland Opera Encores

Beginning this Saturday morning at 10 a.m., enjoy encores of five recent Portland Opera productions. Starting with Verdi's La Traviata and ending with Verdi's Rigoletto on August 1, here's your chance to acquaint yourself with our own local opera company before the next season begins. Read introductions to the acts on Pat McElroy's blog each Saturday morning before the opera begins.
