IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Trouble Listening?

Are you having trouble listening online? We're experiencing frequent audio drop-outs with our stream. We’re working around the clock on this issue and remain committed to restoring the service as quickly as possible, and increasing the reliability at the same time.

Greetings
from Istanbul

Robert McBride and Mary Evjen journey to Turkey and Greece with a group of All Classical travelers and Earthbound Expeditions. Yesterday Mary sent this gorgeous photo of the inside of Ayasofya Mosque (now a museum), built by Emperor Justinian in the 6th century and considered Christendom’s greatest church. See the rest of the photos on our Facebook page, and stay tuned for more updates as they make their way through Istanbul and on to Greece.

Join All Classical and Christa Wessel on our next Cultural Tour to New Zealand!

The Best of All
Possible Shows

Forty fast-paced scenes whisk the naïve Candide around the world – and the audience along with him – in Leonard Bernstein's galloping adaptation of Voltaire's satire. Portland Opera dishes up two more performances on May 17 and 19. Get tickets through Ticketmaster, or call 503-241-1802 during business hours.

Be Radiant,
O Peoples!

The vocal ensemble Cappella Romana celebrates its 20th season with a program of various settings of the Easter Canon of St. John of Damascus.

Seen
a Good Movie
Lately?

All Classical is about music, of course, but our website offers coverage of other art forms as well, from dance to theater to cinema. In fact, you can catch film reviews and essays by D.K. Holm, Kimberly Gadette, Ed Goldberg and Becky Ohlsen at our special Four on the Aisle page. Take a look, cop a read and see what you think.
