RadioPrograms


We asked you to tell us your “Love at First Listen” piece — the music you fell for instantly, and can’t wait to share. We heard from listeners all around California and beyond! Thank you to everyone who reached out to us with your story.

Now we’re playing your Love at First Listen stories! Fall in love with classical music all over again now through Friday, 8AM to 7PM daily, as we playback your stories and the pieces that inspired them.

Here are some of our Love at First Listen stories, and some of yours! We’ll be bringing you new additions throughout the week, so check back here for more!
