Classical Connections is made possible by a generous grant from the Russell Hill Rogers Fund for the Arts.
There’s so much great music going on in San Antonio, and the whole area. It’s an exciting time to be a classical music lover around here.
Every weekday afternoon, you can find out more about it. Classical Connections brings you the best classical music from around town, around the state, and around the world. Great performances from music’s biggest names — and great performances you can only hear on Texas Public Radio.
You’ll hear exclusive recordings our TPR engineers have made at concerts and events in the area. You’ll hear directors and artists who drop in to the studio to talk about coming events. You’ll even hear performers playing live on the air right then and there.
Tune in to KPAC 88.3 FM, or at tpr.org, and meet us in South Texas classical music’s most exciting space.
