The Annual All Classical Top 100

The end of the year is an exciting time at All Classical 89.9. It's when our listeners vote for their five favorite works in all of classical music. Then we play the 100 (89 in 2007) pieces that receive the most votes. The countdown starts the morning after Christmas and ends with No. 1 on New Year's Eve.

View the results of the voting for previous years below (there was no list in 2002) or download a printable version. For the statistically minded, our listener Lowell Herr has compiled a spreadsheet that will let you sort the lists, weight the results and view the data in whatever way you like.

A Taste of What's to Come

Portland Chamber Orchestra opens its season by evoking nature through sounds and images.

The 62-year-old orchestra combines a premiere with two familiar works, and includes young duo-pianists Melody and Megan Yip, along with distinguished Portland actor Tobian Anderson in the program at Kaul Auditorium on Saturday, September 20 @ 7:30 p.m.

DID YOU KNOW?


The Stations of All Classical FM
Many of you have picked up that we have stopped identifying ourselves as KBPS or 89 point nine in favor of All Classical.

We are consciously making that change as we are now a regional arts organization with four radio stations around Oregon and SW Washington.

Today we are KBPS 89.9 Portland, KQHR 90.1, KQAC 88.1 Gleneden Beach and now KQDL 88.1 The Dalles. (The last station is not built as yet; however, we continue to be on the air in The Dalles 96.3.)

If you have not viewed our new video, click below. Also, please note that we have three new photos on our home page that show the Columbia Gorge, the beach and Portland.
