I heard my first classical music in utero. My parents were big fans.
Later as a little kid, I found my own favorites in their music collection.
Doing chores or walking around, I'd pretend I was a KPAC announcer announcing various orchestras and conductors and performers.
I had no idea it would eventually come true — but here we are, and now I'm the one who gets to bring great music to people. It's a pleasure and honor that's hard to express.
Of course, it wouldn't happen without donors: I've been a donor for decades, and I hope you're one too. If not, or not yet, I'd like to ask you to fix that right now!
