At All Classical Radio, we believe that music has the power to uplift, to restore, and to connect us. Music is more than sound. It is healing. It is hope. It is a lifeline. And it is all made possible by community support.
We invite you to experience this healing music in a new way this September. Tune in daily at 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM PT during our Music Heals campaign for Sound Sanctuary: an on-air mini-series made possible by our generous sponsors Olson & Jones Construction. Sound Sanctuary brings together music, sounds inspired by nature and the Pacific Northwest, and gentle prompts for reflection to create an oasis of calm to carry you throughout your day.
Join All Classical Radio hosts for Sound Sanctuary on the radio beginning September 4, 2025, and support the music by making a donation today. Your gift right is essential to this community funded service of healing and hope. Support the music that brings comfort and peace to so many.
This Sound Sanctuary will remain here for you, in all of life’s moments, thanks to your support. Revisit past segments by listening on demand after each broadcast.
