Charles Andrews

Charles Andrews started in radio in the 1970s at the University of Hawaii at Manoa; a few years later he was part of the group that finally put Hawaii Public Radio on the air. He worked at a community station in Homer, Alaska for three years and at WKSU in Kent, Ohio for 11 years. During his 20 years in noncommercial radio, Mr. Andrews has been a DJ, producer, Music Director, and Program Director--he likes having direct contact with listeners most of all and he feels very lucky to be sharing the music on Classical KUSC. As a performer, Charles has played the flute in recitals and orchestras since his teenage years. These days he plays in the Topanga Symphony. He also arranges music for flute ensemble and coaches and leads the Burbank High School Flute Ensemble, which won a Superior at the regional Solo/Ensemble Festival at LA Valley College in May 2008.
