Thursdays @ Three

Hosted by Christa Wessel, Thursdays @ Three is All Classical Radio’s free weekly in-studio concert, broadcast directly to your home. Since 2014, T@T has featured exciting, in-studio performances showcasing world-renowned artists, burgeoning local ensembles, and touring musicians. All Classical Radio is the most accessible megaphone for the arts in the region, and this live program exemplifies how All Classical Radio shares a microphone to highlight upcoming performances, celebrate new compositions, amplify local stars, and serve local and global communities with world class music. Encores of Thursdays @ Three episodes can be heard on demand for two weeks following each broadcast. 


Reserve your spot in the audience

Experience beautiful music up close in All Classical Radio’s new Irving Levin Performance Hall in downtown Portland. You’re invited to join host Christa Wessel in-person for a future Thursdays @ Three broadcast.

Tickets are free and reservations are required to attend.

Due to popularity, we ask that you limit your Thursdays @ Three attendance to twice per month to give other people a chance to experience the live broadcast. Thank you for understanding!

Programming subject to change.

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.
