Texas Public Radio - The KPAC 100

Every day, KPAC 88.3 FM aims to soothe and delight with selections from our extensive classical music library. We strive to play the best that classical music has to offer, but now we're counting down the classical music you want most to carry you through your day.

All this week, KPAC 88.3 FM is counting down San Antonio’s 100 greatest classical hits. We asked our listeners in September to give us their absolute favorite pieces and compiled a list of the 100 musical selections that San Antonio loves most.

We'll play one an hour, every hour throughout the day while we're in pledge drive. Visit here for the complete list as we count down your favorites.
