Every piece of music tells a story, and every story has a storyteller. We want to hear your favorite pieces of music, and the stories behind them. Let us know what you'd like to hear, and tell us why. Was "Carmen" the first opera you ever saw on stage? Did you get married to the strains of Mendelssohn? Perhaps you used to play an instrument yourself, and remembered marching to the strains of Stravinsky. Or maybe you're a just a good listener that loves sharing classical music with friends and family.
Email your requests and stories to requests@tpr.org. We'll look up that favorite piece of music, and you might even be be contacted to be a part of the show.
Then sit back and enjoy as James Baker orchestrates "Classics a la Carte," Friday nights on KPAC 88.3 FM and KTXI 90.1 FM.
