Steve Blatt

Steve was listening to classical music even before he was born. His father was a composer and pianist as well as a conductor in Vienna, then at the Metropolitan Opera, so classical music was everywhere in his New York home. Growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, he played violin and guitar. Following graduation from the University of Michigan and three years with the Peace Corps, Steve began his career in classical radio with the original KVOD in Denver. During 12 years there, he was a music host, writer, producer and sales manager. After several years in advertising and marketing he came to the Classical Public Radio Network, where for two years he held the position of managing editor. Now, as an announcer, Steve is able to share his love of classical music directly with listeners.
