Kimberlea Daggy has been a daily presence on 91.5, Classical KUSC, for the last decade. Her love of classical music shines throughout her eclectic program weekday afternoons from 1-4 and Saturday afternoons following The Opera Show. She created the highly popular choral music program, Soul Music, which she hosts on Sunday mornings from 7-9. Kimberlea also explores composers’ lives in depth in quarterly specials, such as the celebrations of the 200th birthdays of Chopin and Schumann in 2010 and Liszt’s bicentennial in 2011.

In addition to soothing souls throughout Southern California on the air, Kimberlea gives pre-performance talks and writes program notes for a variety of organizations in Classical KUSC’s listening area, including Los Angeles Opera, the Ojai Music Festival and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Along with her colleague Duff Murphy, Kimberlea hosts live broadcasts of Los Angeles Opera on Classical KUSC, most recently opening weekend of the 2011-12 season with Eugene Onegin and Cosi fan Tutte. When Kimberlea is off the air, she plays piano and frequently sings with the choir at the Parish of St. Matthew in Pacific Palisades, where her husband, Roger, is organist. This past August, Kimberlea and Roger, along with their children, Max and Celia, spent a week singing services as part of a choir-in-residence in England’s Winchester Cathedral.
