All Classical Radio’s 2024 Year in Review
As we begin a new year together, we’d like to take a moment to reflect, with gratitude, on 2024. Together, we have achieved so much!
Thanks to your generous support, All Classical has had an exciting year full of high notes and crescendos—from a new state-of-the-art home in downtown Portland to innovative community collaborations and artist residencies, and a project profiling trailblazing artists of the Pacific Northwest.
All Classical Radio is community-focused and community-supported. Your financial support will help to keep the music playing in the year ahead, and ensure that All Classical can continue sharing comfort, inspiration, and healing music with our community every day. Thank you.
